Healthcare informatics
An academic web application connecting medical terminology, literature lookup and reporting.
The system at a glance.
A conceptual view of the flow and its boundaries.
The challenge.
The project explored how to make chronic kidney disease terminology and research easier to understand through a web interface.
My contribution.
Contributed to ETL, query design, Java web development, testing and deployment in a team academic project.
Implementation.
- Implemented ETL from terminology data into a staging database for cleansing.
- Worked with the team on UMLS and PubMed queries and reporting workflows.
- Developed web interfaces and supported application packaging, deployment and unit tests.
Design decisions.
Terminology and literature have different structures and require deliberate mapping.
A research application supports information exploration rather than clinical diagnosis.
Validation.
JUnit tests, debugging and application validation supported the academic implementation.
The outcome.
Built a team academic application for exploring medical terminology and literature.
