Mipih

As a leader in software publising for Hospital Information Systems, MIPIH is also strongly present on services and outsourcing activities.

Need

In march 2012, the “MIPIH days” were dedicated to the social and ethical issues of the digital hospital. For this special occasion, MIPIH wanted to present an iPad application prototype, interoperable with its product back-end (ERP). Touch-screen technologies and their ecosystem were new universes for MIPIH and its Product R&D team.
Therefore, MIPIH called upon our expertise to assist on the prototype production and the following skill transfer.

Solution

We developed an iPad application for the consultation of medical acts referential for the MPIH, one of the biggest public structure specialized in health sector.

The application benefits from a statistical module, a local database (SQLite) replicated from an Oracle database. Furthermore, the referential is historically recorded, so the doctor can precisely know the applicable legislation during its medical acts.

At the technical level, the application is built around a UISplitView and data are accessible through the API Core Data which is the iOS’s ORM (Object-Relational Mapping). Special efforts were made on the framework settings to reach the ambitious targeted performance goals : a perfectly fluid navigation and an instant multi-criteria search.

Midiway, Cegedim Group

Cegedim is a worldwide technologies and services company, specialized in the health sector. With 8 100 employees in 80 countries, Cegedim offers service delivery, computer tools, specialized softwares, flow management services and databases.

Midiway is operating as an internet agency specialized in value-added services presentation to the general public and professionals, in synergy with the Insurance center and more generally with Cegedim Group.

Need

One of Cegedim’s major american client, performing business consulting for its customers (hospitals, clinics, laboratories), wanted to start a paper free approach for its audit procedures, using touch-screen pad. Midiway, a Cegedim Group company, requested our expertise and reactivity for the realization of this solution (tactile application and back office).

Solution

As the application should be cross-platform, we advised an hybrid development, building most of the application using web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, Javascript) and integrate this web app to a native application through the WebView component. The final result is a standard application distributing, settling  and executing like any other one.  To ensure the best implementation of an application with this approach, we based its development on the PhoneGap Open Source frameworks.

Concerning the back office, we performed its first test using the Play framework. Play is a productive Java framework which enables to develop web management application with Java.  Communication between the touchpad app and the back office has been implemented in REST (JSON) Web Services on the HTTP protocol.

MSA – GIE AGORA

MSA – GIE AGORA

MSA, France second social security system, is giving protection to all trades related to farming.
Through its development and integration actions, MSA IT is taking care of the information system of all MSA funds and their members under IT partnerships. MSA is composed by a contracting authority support, a project management support (GIE AGORA) and 2 production centers (SIGMAP et SIER@). These 3 cornerstones support and secure the quality of services of the institutional information system.

The mission of the GIE AGORA (GIE for Economic Interest Grouping) is to answer to any of its clients requirements related to technological evolutions, improve productivity for the institution, support French Administration goals to make the life of every person covered by social security easier and reinforce Administration control.

Need

The GIE AGORA aimed to evaluate and test the technical feasibility of rewriting a desktop application – that control other internal business applications – used by MSA funds agents. The choice felt on the Electron technology, an application development tool for desktop application based on node.js. 

The GIE AGORA wanted to test and evaluate Electron on :

  • its capacity and complexity to do system calls on Windows to launch procedures (using win32 api), make windows associations and do cross procedures communication,
  • its capacity to display a distant web page in the Electron app, manipulating / updating the HTML content of the displayed page.

Solution

A prototype of the functional solution was built by our team, with a supporting documentation to summarize completed actions and recommendations. Whereas the Electron technology has been seen as an option at first, it has caught the client’s attention and is still in the race for the technical study of the GIE AGORA.
