The University of Texas at Austin has a state-of-the-art medical facility to educate the future of medicine. With the future intertwined with technology it was only logical to invest in software to better educate these budding medical professionals. That’s where Nexrage came in.
General Client and Project Information
Client Name | UT Dell Medical School
Client Industry | University - Higher Education
Project Type | Web Application
Platforms | Website
Technology | React Native, .NET Core 3.1, SQL Server, JavaScript
The University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School required a custom-built web application that would provide students and educators with anatomically correct, interactive diagrams to visualize the actions of specific receptor types in the human body. This innovative tool is designed to enhance the learning experience for medical students and physicians by offering easy access to study material and helping users retain critical biological information.
Project Overview
The application demonstrates the interactions of the nervous system’s receptors with chemical agents. The core challenge was to create an interactive diagram that allows users to visualize the effects of various agents, such as agonists and antagonists, on the body. This included both standalone and simultaneous visualizations across different organs. Nexrage Studios collaborated closely with Dell Medical School faculty to ensure the anatomical accuracy and biological correctness of the diagrams and functionality. The result was a powerful learning tool, accessible and scalable, designed to serve both students and medical professionals.
Key Features and Solutions
1. Data Encryption & Security:
All data within the application was protected using SHA-256 encryption, ensuring that sensitive interactions and data were fully secure. While no PII (Personally Identifiable Information) was collected, the highest standard of security protocols was implemented to safeguard other critical data flows.
2. Access Control with Roles and Permissions:
Role-based access control (RBAC) was implemented to assign permissions to different user types. Educators and admin faculty had full control over content, while students had restricted access based on their educational needs.
Email authentication was used to securely manage user access to the platform, ensuring only authorized users could log in and use the tool.
3. Data Analytics for User Engagement:
The platform tracked critical usage metrics, such as user counts, time spent on the platform, and the average time per session. This data was visible to educators and faculty with administrative permissions, providing valuable insights into student engagement and interaction with the tool.
All activity reports were aggregated, with no individual user data exposed, ensuring compliance with privacy standards.
4. Accessibility and Compliance:
Nexrage Studios adhered to W3C accessibility guidelines to ensure that the platform was fully compliant with web accessibility standards. This was critical for providing an inclusive learning experience for all students, including those using assistive technologies.
5. Scalability with Azure:
The application was hosted on Microsoft Azure, which allowed for real-time monitoring and scalability. Azure’s autoscaling capabilities were employed to handle fluctuating traffic, automatically increasing resources as user numbers grew during peak periods.
Azure also provided security alerts and monitoring systems, ensuring that the platform remained stable and secure as it scaled to meet increased demand.
6. White Label and Multi-University Capability:
The application was built with a flexible architecture, making it possible for the tool to be easily white-labeled for other universities. This design allows future clients to tailor the platform to fit their own branding and academic needs without disrupting the core functionality.
Development and Delivery
To meet the University’s aggressive timeline, Nexrage Studios employed React for the frontend and .NET Core 3.1 for the backend, ensuring a scalable, secure, and fast-performing web application. This architecture enabled the development team to deliver a fully functional, responsive platform within a 3-month timeline.
By leveraging modern frameworks and collaborating closely with faculty members, Nexrage Studios delivered a high-quality, scalable learning tool that met the unique educational needs of Dell Medical School. The platform’s ability to scale and adapt, while maintaining the highest standards of security and accessibility, showcases its potential for future use across other academic institutions.
Conclusion
The UT Austin Dell Medical School Anatomical App provides students with an interactive and dynamic learning tool that enhances their understanding of complex biological interactions. With the support of Nexrage Studios, UT Austin now offers an educational platform that is secure, scalable, and accessible, designed to improve student engagement and academic performance.
