Telemedicine: a comprehensive solution for traditional, complementary and alternative medicine

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This project presents the development of a telemedicine platform that integrates traditional, complementary and alternative medicine into a digital ecosystem. The main goal was to increase the accessibility to healthcare services while promoting an inclusive approach to patient care by combining technological innovation with diverse medical practices. The application was developed using a microservices architecture, with a Java Spring Boot backend, Angular frontend and deployment through Docker and Kubernetes on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment process was automated using Jenkins, which orchestrates the compilation, Docker image creation and deployment in development environment. This architecture ensures scalability, maintainability and efficient resource management, while providing secure communication services between patients and healthcare professionals. In addition, the platform was structured following a modular architecture composed of several independent services interconnected through an API Gateway, responsible for centralizing and managing system requests. This approach enhances modularity, resilience and horizontal scalability, optimizing performance and ensuring service continuity. In conclusion, this telemedicine solution represents a relevant contribution to digital health by accessibility, interoperability and integration between modern and traditional healthcare models.
