Abstract


This work attempts to answer how the latest cloud computing technologies and low-code software development tools can support modern health care. The main scope of the work was the design and implementation of an application using the Microsoft Power Platform environment, including Microsoft Power Apps and Microsoft Dataverse. Testing the implemented application formed the basis for discussion and enabled the formulation of potential benefits, limitations, and possible future enhancements of the proposed solution. The development of this project demonstrated great potential for using Microsoft Power Apps. It was considered important for expanding telemedicine systems, improving access to medical information, and optimizing working time.
