Integración de nuevas tecnologías a un sistema LIMS Cloud : Integración de comunicación entre dispositivos IoT y el sistema de laboratorio LIMS.

Abstract

In the first chapter, the objectives to be achieved at the end of the next integration work are defined, and a systematic search of the literature is also carried out to define the state of the art on the integration of IoT devices within clinical laboratories. This systematic search allows us to obtain the basic studies to understand the theoretical foundations, define the scope and develop the present integration work. The second chapter defines the theory that underpins the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm in the field of clinical laboratories. This section specifies the concepts of the IoT network, its applications, and the architecture it follows. In addition, development based on specifications is defined as a methodology for the development of this work, detailing the expected deliverables for each phase. Finally, the concept of REST API is defined as a communication interface to query and store information from the IoT network. The third chapter corresponds to the simultaneous development of the REST API and the network of IoT devices following the methodology defined in chapter two. It starts with the creation of a deployment diagram to visualize the interaction that exists between the network of IoT devices and the REST API. Then, the behavior of the API is detailed by means of a history of the API and its corresponding web sequence diagram. In addition, the class diagram of the middleware in charge of connecting the REST API to the network of IoT devices is established. Subsequently, the behavior of the API is simulated to obtain feedback, which helps its implementation. Finally, unit tests are carried out to verify the individual operation of each component and integration tests are carried out to verify the communication and exchange of information between the network of IoT devices and the REST API. Finally, chapter four consolidates the achievements obtained based on the objectives set and the development carried out, which are reflected in the conclusions. In addition, recommendations are provided to facilitate the project development process by simplifying the effort required and suggesting ways to counteract the shortcomings found.
