Symfony
is increasingly being used by a gamut of industries. Apart from
Healthcare, Symfony finds great application in industries like
Information Technology, media and Entertainment, Retail, Education,
Internet, e-commerce and Non-profit to name a few. Symfony is a chosen
framework to rapidly develop enterprise level complex websites that
cater to the business requirements at a very small notice.
There are two reasons for the increasing usage of Symfony framework in
the healthcare industry. The first reason is that it is a framework of
more than 20 individual components which can be used together or
individually to significantly cater to common web development
requirement. The word “framework” should strike a chord here. Here one
may wonder why use a framework when we can build the application from
scratch using PHP. Using a framework is not mandatory, however using the
right one enables the developer a greater ease to concentrate more on
the task (read business need) and less about creating an authentication
form which may take up more than a couple of days of his time. The
beauty of Symfony lies in the fact that the generic modules can be
reused in the same project in different scenarios or in different of a
larger projects in various other scenarios without being tied down to
the framework itself. Hence not only does it reduce time taken to build
an application but also make the development task a lot more easy. Not
only that, use of a framework also is a viable business proposition as
it provides the project owner an assurance that the application that is
being developed is fully compliant with the business rules, is written
in a structured manner and that is both maintainable, scalable and
upgradable. This unfortunately is not the case when one develops an
application from scratch.
The second reason which justifies the growing usage of Symfony in
healthcare industry is the fact that the Healthcare industry is growing
in leaps and bounds and finding new ways of using technology
innovatively. Hence, for an industry that has become dependent on the
ever-changing technology industry, use of Symfony framework which is
made up of 20+ individual components offers the unique functionality of
each of those components being used alone or in group. A recent case
study showed how the Symfony2 framework was used in Healthcare industry
to develop a Cloud Based Prescription and Medication Reminder System.
This application could run on multiple devices used by the same person
and would help remind the person to take medicines whenever they were
due. The application had iOS as well Android versions to enable the
patient use a mobile device of his choice. The use of Propel as an ORM
enabled the data conversion for incompatible type systems. The business
objective of this application was to have the reminder services on all
the hand-held devices of the user and if the patient data is updated at
any point of time on any mobile device, it should be synchronized real
time on all the other devices and at the same time ensuring high data
concurrency.
