A discovery portal for smart health-related data exploration and management based on a hybrid Service-and-Data-Oriented Architecture
Our work, titled “A discovery portal for smart health-related data exploration and management based on a hybrid Service-and-Data-Oriented Architecture” was presented at the 2024 11th International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS), introducing innovative approaches for enhancing the way Living Lab healthcare data and metadata is discovered, explored, and managed.
By leveraging a hybrid Service-and-Data-Oriented Architecture, the VITALISE Discovery Portal is built to support:
- Enhanced User Experience: With an intuitive user interface and data visualizations, the portal not only simplifies data exploration but also improves usability, making it accessible for both External Researchers within the Living Labs ecosystem.
- Resource and Data Management: Our approach streamlines the management of metadata of both synthetic and non-synthetic datasets, allowing efficient resource management and providing quick access to critical healthcare insights.
- Integration of ICT Tools: The portal seamlessly integrates various ICT tools and APIs across the VITALISE system, setting the stage for a robust and interoperable web platform that can support modern digital health initiatives.
In our presentation, we delved into the technical architecture and design considerations that underpin the portal. Some of the key aspects include:
- Hybrid Architectural Design: Merging service-oriented and data-oriented paradigms has enabled a flexible system that is both resilient and adaptable to emerging health data standards.
- Metadata-Driven Exploration: By incorporating rich metadata and sophisticated search mechanisms, the portal empowers users to efficiently navigate through complex health datasets.
- User-Centered Design Philosophy: The emphasis on user interfaces and experience ensures that the portal is not just powerful but also easy to use, fostering wider adoption in both clinical and research environments.
