The problem

Clinical lab software carries real-world consequences and long lifespans. This system had to handle patient records, test management and reporting in live hospital use — while part of it still ran on an ageing VB6/VB.Net codebase that was increasingly costly to maintain.

The approach

  1. 01

    Worked across patient records, test management and reporting in a system running in major government hospitals.

  2. 02

    Migrated the Histology application from its legacy codebase onto PHP Laravel.

  3. 03

    Worked across both SQL Server and MySQL data stores alongside the legacy VB6 / VB.Net components.

  4. 04

    Built the OCM Software Guide Videos feature.

The outcome

The Histology application moved off legacy code onto Laravel, inside a lab system that continues to run in major government hospitals across Ireland.
