Abstract
The main goal of this Bachelor’s thesis was to create a software solution for a soon to be available service by the Competence Centre on Health Technologies (CCHT). The service includes early genetic screening for pregnant women to identify the most common fetal chromosomal anomalies.
The created software solution is multi-disciplinary, covering the entire testing procedure from biological sampling from the doctor's office to automatic report generation. Data analysis software development was not author’s responsibility, but required author’s cooperation to create a workable test version of the given solution.
The web application accelerates the screening process and reduces the duplication of data and the number of errors caused by this. This solution can be easily introduced to healthcare providers as it is web-based.
It is a unique solution in Estonia as at the time of the writing, no alternative software exists for such fetal screening. On this basis, this solution can heighten the Estonian health care quality.
