Admin panel for genetic laboratory

About the Client

Our company, Sky Business Group, was approached by a client — a modern laboratory specializing in high-precision genetic research. The laboratory offers a wide range of services, including DNA analysis, genetic screening, hereditary disease research, and other types of molecular diagnostics. The research center handles a large volume of data that requires reliable storage and management. Therefore, the laboratory seeks to implement innovative solutions to improve customer service quality and enhance internal process efficiency. Consequently, the key request from the client was the development of an administrative panel to manage the results of laboratory tests, which would help optimize the laboratory’s operations, provide convenient access to results, and improve interactions with patients and medical professionals.

Project Objectives

The goal of the development was to create an integrated solution in the form of an admin panel for managing laboratory test results, which would serve as the central tool for processing and analyzing genetic data.
The implementation of the new system was expected to provide ease of use for laboratory staff, allowing them to quickly and effectively manage large volumes of patient information.

Key requirements for the admin panel included data reliability and security, which is especially critical given the sensitive nature of genetic information. The client’s request also involved the implementation of advanced search and filtering functions, enabling laboratory staff to quickly find relevant data, as well as providing opportunities for data visualization. All of this aimed at enhancing the understanding of test results.

Integration with existing laboratory information systems was another crucial aspect of the project, as it would ensure seamless operation and avoid duplication of results. Additionally, the admin panel needed to be configured for multi-user operation, granting different user groups, including administrators, doctors, and lab technicians, access to specific functions based on their roles.

The project also aimed to automate routine processes, which would enhance staff efficiency and allow them to focus on more complex and important tasks. Another aspect was the ability to personalize system settings, allowing each user to adapt the working panel to their needs.

Overall, the project was focused on improving the accuracy, timeliness, and ease of use within the laboratory. Ultimately, it aimed to improve the quality of services provided to patients and increase the institution’s competitiveness in the medical services market.

Project Workflow

The development of the admin panel for managing laboratory test results involved several stages, each of which played an important role in achieving a successful outcome.

1. Requirements gathering and planning. At the initial stage, the development team held detailed consultations with the client to understand their needs and the specifics of the laboratory’s operations. Information was gathered about the functions the admin panel should cover, its integration with existing systems, and key issues to be solved. A technical specification (TS) and a work plan were created.
2. System architecture development. Based on the gathered requirements, system architects developed its structure, including the server and client sides and the database. The Python programming language was chosen for the server side, using the Django framework, which provided fast and reliable request processing. PostgreSQL was used to store data and test results. Speed optimization was achieved using the Redis technology as a caching mechanism.
3. Programming and testing. At this stage, developers began writing the code to implement the service’s functions. The server side integrated with other systems through developed RESTful APIs. After the main development was completed, the team moved on to system testing, which included functional, regression, and security testing.
4. Launch and support. After deployment, the system was launched in the production environment, and the project team provided technical support during the first few weeks of operation. The focus was on solving problems that arose during real-world use and making necessary adjustments. A maintenance and update plan was also developed to ensure the system’s stable and long-term operation.

Results

As a result of the creation and implementation of the project, the laboratory’s operations improved. The introduced admin panel enabled effective management of genetic research and allowed for a 40% faster processing of patient data. Successful integration with existing systems ensured seamless data transfer and simplified workflows, while the automation of routine tasks increased staff efficiency. Interaction with clients also improved due to convenient access to research results, contributing to a 20% increase in patient satisfaction. High security standards were implemented, ensuring reliable protection of genetic information and reducing the risk of data breaches.
