Application Architecture Redesign and Migration for Elder Support and Integration Platform

The organization lacks a cohesive and scalable application architecture, hindering its ability to further develop and maintain its platform. Existing codebase requires improvements for better understandability, extendibility, and safe feature porting, to support growing user demands and external system integrations.

A healthcare-focused non-profit organization providing social and language integration services for elderly and immigrant populations through a digital platform.

• Design a scalable, layered application architecture with clearly defined modules and boundaries.
• Develop a comprehensive migration plan to transition existing features to the new architecture securely and efficiently.
• Improve the current codebase for enhanced maintainability, readability, and extendibility.
• Provide a detailed audit report including dependency analysis, data structure review, and best practices recommendations.
• Facilitate knowledge transfer with expert guidance during the redesign process.
• Prepare a set of implementation checkpoints to verify progressive improvements and ensure quality standards.

• Definition of layered architecture with separate modules for business logic, data access, and presentation tiers.
• Tools and processes for migrating existing platform features into the new architecture safely.
• Mechanisms for integrating with external systems (e.g., language learning tools, health record systems).
• Features supporting scalable user management and real-time data processing.
• Built-in support for code quality analysis, dependency management, and configuration auditing.

• External language learning systems
• Health and social service data sources

• System scalability to support increasing user base, aiming for at least 45% growth in elderly user engagement by 2060.
• High performance with minimal latency for real-time interactions.
• High availability and reliability to ensure continuous service.
• Security measures compliant with data privacy standards applicable to healthcare and social data.
• Ease of maintenance and extensibility for ongoing development.

The successful redesign and migration are expected to enable the platform to support a growing elderly and immigrant user base, improve code maintainability and feature scalability, and enhance external system integrations. This will facilitate more effective social interactions, mental and physical health benefits, and potentially reduce societal costs associated with elderly care and integration efforts.
