Summary: | With the increasing prevalence of dementia amidst an aging population, the Person-Centered
Care (PEAR) system offers a technologically advanced approach to simplifying and improving
caregiving practices. Developed for both web and mobile platforms, the system facilitates
person-centered care by providing healthcare professionals, caregivers, and supervisors with
integrated tools for efficient patient management and monitoring.
Central to this project is the creation of a sophisticated scheduling system microservice,
designed to generate personalized and adaptive weekly schedules for patients. This system
meticulously accounts for a variety of constraints, such as patient preferences, medical
recommendations, activity availability, routines, and exclusions, thereby optimizing the balance
between structured activities and patient well-being. The use of a microservices architecture
and the adoption of modern frameworks underpins this component, embodying the team's
commitment to modern, scalable, and maintainable software solutions.
Concurrently, significant advancements have been made to the existing PEAR web application,
focusing on the display and management of schedules. These enhancements were meticulously
implemented following sound software engineering principles, particularly adhering to MVC
(Model-View-Controller) and API patterns. This approach has ensured a robust, modular
structure for the web application, facilitating easy updates, scalability, and enhanced user
experience. The integration of these modern software practices highlights the project's
dedication to delivering a high-quality, user-friendly platform.
Through the combined efforts of the team and under the guidance of the team’s supervisor, the
PEAR system now boasts a robust scheduling component alongside a refined web application
interface. These developments not only demonstrate adherence to best practices in software
development but also significantly contribute to the system's overall functionality and
reliability. The implementation of these features reflects a forward-looking strategy, ensuring
the PEAR system remains at the forefront of digital healthcare solutions for dementia care. |
