Physiosoft

Physiosoft is a comprehensive web application tailored for physiotherapy facilities. It streamlines the process of managing physiotherapists, patients, and appointments, offering a centralized platform for scheduling and tracking sessions. The application is built with a focus on ease of use and efficiency in managing daily operations of a physiotherapy center.

Features

• Appointment Scheduling: Users can create, update, and delete appointments efficiently, facilitating smooth operation of the physiotherapy sessions.
• Patient Management: Allows for the registration and management of patient information, ensuring that patient records are easily accessible and well-organized.
• Physiotherapist Profiles: Manage and maintain detailed profiles for physiotherapists, including their schedules, specializations, and availability.
• Appointment Tracking: Provides a comprehensive view of upcoming and past appointments, aiding in better planning and resource allocation.

Technical Architecture

Physiosoft employs a robust MVC layered architecture, ensuring separation of concerns and making the application scalable and maintainable. The architecture is outlined as follows:

• Data Access Object (DAO) / Data Transfer Object (DTO): For handling data interactions and transfer between different application layers.
• Data Layer: Manages the application's data structures, it's logic and its interaction with the database.
• View Layer: Manages the user interface and presentation logic.
• Controllers: Serve as an intermediary between the Model and View layers, handling user input and responses.

In addition to this, Physiosoft integrates various other technologies and practices:

• Repository Architecture: Incorporating IBaseRepository and BaseRepository patterns for abstracted data operations, alongside IUserRepository and UserRepository for user-specific data handling.
• Entity Framework: Utilizes Entity Framework for object-relational mapping, simplifying data access and manipulation.
• DbContext and Fluent API: Manages database contexts and employs Fluent API for advanced configuration and mappings.
• Validators: Ensures data integrity and validation throughout the application.
• Custom Exceptions: Implements custom exception handling for clearer and more precise error management.
• NLogger: For efficient and effective logging of application activities and errors.
• User Registration/Login/Validation: Manages user accounts, authentication, and authorization securely.

Tech Stack

• C# and .NET 8: Forms the core of backend development, providing a powerful and efficient programming environment.
• SQL Database: Utilizes SQL databases for robust and reliable data storage.
• Razor, Bootstrap, and JQuery: These technologies enhance the front-end development, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly interface.
