ElderlyCare: Senior House Living Management System Share: Upplabs Score Awaiting client review n/a Date Published 28 September 2020 Reading Time 4-Minute Read About the Project ElderlyCare is an innovative CRM that includes different applications for residents, senior house’ workers, and administration of senior living houses to monitor the health and organize residents’ schedules. The application presents a new approach to caregiving services and a digital transformation in healthcare. It helps to manage all facilities, wings, residents and rooms, and employees that serve residents. Mission The ElderlyCare application was developed to automate and simplify the work of senior house workers, administration, and to make the communication with residents more efficient. This project was a part of digital transformation that included process optimization and task automation for the institution’s personnel. Data inserted into the CRM could be filtered, organized, and used to create meetings, calendars, schedule medical procedures, notify workers and residents and provide them all with the easy to use interface. Additionally, the app could be used by workers to chat with the team and the residents. A convenient and fast system was aimed to make senior house living management more transparent, efficient, and fast. No paper-based archives and quiet bells to call a nurse. Residents could connect to a needed specialist and leave a comment when needed via the application. Our Contributions The UppLabs team was responsible for Android and web applications development, manual, and automation quality assurance. Together with the client, we worked on the app’s functional and testing: Mobile development UppLabs provided the client with a skilled Kotlin developer to take full responsibility for technical decisions and add expertise in the mobile development of the Healthcare app. Frontend development UppLabs’ React.js engineers created an appealing platform interface with reusable components and advanced maintenance. Testing Our team made sure every single app’s feature is working properly, that the platform ensures secure data handling, prevented vulnerabilities, and instabilities that might appear in the future. Mobile and web automation testing is one of the steps that the team has done to be sure that the quality of the product is very high Key Features To empower the system’s usability and functionality, the UppLabs team helped to provide ElderlyCare app with: Login functionality Residents assessment reports Search functionality (residents and facilities) Notifications and alerts Resident’s profile (current and inactive) with: Care summary Appointments schedule Care plans Progress notes Assessments (general, complex healthcare, therapeutic, lifestyle, and healthcare) Files Care team console with: Creating reports Appointments planner Messaging functionality List of residents List of staff working in the senior house Event creation option (different types) Event filtering functionality Creating report templates Resident facility menu: Facility noticeboard Dashboard Care management Goal This application should help large and medium-sized senior living houses that provide services for thousands of residents and the new level of services for residents in Australia, the US, UK. Challenges UX And UI Optimization Our main goal was to build an application that is very easy to use and navigate because the main users are senior residents and most of them are not very tech-savvy. Hight Code Standards and Communication With the Client’s Team The team that was working on the project had more than 25 developers that were working on the same parts of the application. We joined the project when it had 2 years of the development with their code practices. But our team managed to adapt our approach to their expectation and provided a high efficiency and code quality. Sometimes much higher efficiency than an existing team.
