Tiivistelmä
In this thesis, an Android application was designed and implemented to improve homecare service sector. Although popular in Finland and in other developed countries, the homecare service sector is yet to benefit from today’s software solutions. The efficiency and effectiveness of this service sector heavily relies on establishing a smooth communication network between task allocators and field workers (healthcare professionals). The application is intended to be used by field workers; it displays job offers, provides necessary features, sends and receives data to and from the back-end solution, thereby creating a centralized and well-organized homecare service network. The mobile application together with Azure Mobile Apps back-end cut out the unnecessary time, effort and finance wasted on traditional manner of carrying out the service.
Although the project was limited to Android mobile application, it keeps Xamarin cross-platform project structure to make it ready for future updates. The project integrates Google’s Material design guidelines to deliver user-friendly and responsive UI. Android Support Library was used to ensure backward compatibility. Azure Mobile Apps was implemented as a server-less back-end for data storage and Google authentication.
This document provides a detailed documentation of the application’s use cases, design and implementations carried out throughout the project.
