Requirements
The customer wanted two iPad applications. The first one (Britain’s Finest) must provide information about all Britain hotels, museums, art galleries, historic houses, gardens, spas, golf courses, restaurants, and pubs. The second one (Home Care) must provide information about all UK registered home care and nursing agencies, local authorities, and the major care associations and suppliers. This reflects Elinext’s depth in healthcare software, including a clinical trials management solution built to streamline the planning, execution, and reporting of clinical research studies. Elinext addressed data protection in healthcare through a healthcare data anonymization platform — a system that applies automated masking, tokenisation, and pseudonymisation techniques to patient records before they are shared with research teams or third-party analytics tools.
Challenge
The most complex issue was to load a large number of images asynchronously in a short period of time and store them in the cache. For healthcare apps handling sensitive records, reliability under load is equally critical — as explored in our case on automation QA for healthcare data privacy.
Solution
To solve this problem, our developer tried to use several solutions provided by a developer from Apple and other developers from the whole world. As a result, we have a unique asynchronous image loader that incorporates the best qualities of the solutions offered by various developers. This reflects Elinext’s pharma software expertise, demonstrated by code optimization for biopharmaceutical company in germany — a project involving deep code profiling and optimisation to cut processing time for bioinformatics workflows.
Results
The development project outcome are two applications for the iPad. The applications are enhanced with the following functionality:
