Web and Mobile Enabled Application for Public Health Inspections

Area of Science:

• Public Health Informatics
• Health Services Management
• Information Systems Development

Background:

• Public health practices require efficient data management for regulatory oversight.
• Health inspections in health stores are crucial for ensuring public safety and compliance.
• Existing systems may lack the integration and accessibility needed for effective public health monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop and implement an Information System (IS) for registering health inspections.
• To enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of Public Health Inspectorate activities in Greece.
• To create a centralized platform for managing health store inspection data.

Main Methods:

• The Information System was developed using open-source programming languages and frameworks.
• Front-end development utilized JavaScript and the Vue.js framework.
• Back-end development was implemented using Python and the Django framework.

Main Results:

• Successful implementation of an Information System for health inspection registration.
• Utilized open-source technologies (JavaScript, Vue.js, Python, Django) for system development.
• Established a foundation for improved data management in public health inspections.

Conclusions:

• The developed Information System effectively supports the registration of health inspections.
• Open-source technologies provide a viable and cost-effective solution for public health informatics.
• The IS has the potential to significantly improve public health practices in Greece through better data management.
