Tailored Technology : Indium's Approach to Building a Precision Healthcare Solution

Having identified the client’s need for a robust, adaptable application, Indium proposed a multi-faceted solution leveraging Mendix, a low-code development platform. Here’s how we addressed the client’s challenges:

Building a Scalable Foundation

We recommended Mendix as the platform of choice due to its model-driven development capabilities. This approach allowed us to visually define the application’s data model and workflows, ensuring a clear and adaptable foundation. Additionally, Mendix’s in-built features for scalability ensured the application could seamlessly handle future growth and increased user adoption.

Role-Based Access for Enhanced Security

Understanding the diverse user base within the client’s network was crucial. We utilized Mendix’s role-based functionality to create secure user accounts and privileges. This ensured that each user, whether physician, researcher, or patient, had access only to the information and features relevant to their role. Following this, we meticulously built out the individual features within the application, ensuring a comprehensive and end-to-end solution.

Streamlined Development with Clear Workflows

To translate the client’s vision into reality, we began by constructing a high-level workflow model within Mendix. This model, built using the platform’s visual tools, captured the application’s core functionalities and requirements. We then meticulously mapped these workflow requirements to specific development tasks, ensuring a clear roadmap for our development team.

Ensuring Performance from the Ground Up

Performance was a top priority for the client. To address this, we conducted thorough performance tests at the microservice level using built-in Mendix testing tools. This granular approach allowed us to identify and rectify any performance bottlenecks early in the development cycle.

Rigorous Quality Assurance

Indium is committed to delivering high-quality solutions. We employed a team of experienced Functional Test Engineers (FTEs) to conduct comprehensive quality checks on each feature release. These FTEs utilized a combination of Mendix’s testing tools and manual testing to ensure all functionalities operated as intended. Additionally, we leveraged industry-standard Agile tools throughout the development process to facilitate efficient collaboration and iterative development.
