LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
Mobile app development is a term used to denote the process by which a mobile app is
developed for mobile devices, such as personal digital assistant, enterprise digital assistant
or mobile phones. These application can be pre-installed on phones during manufacturing
platforms or delivered as web applications using server-side or client-side processing (e.g,
JavaScript) to provide an “application-like” experience within a Web browser. Application
software developers also must consider a long array of screen sizes, hardware
specifications, and configurations because of intense competition in mobile software and
changes within each of the platforms. Mobile app development has been steadily growing,
in revenues and job created. A 2013 analyst report estimates there are 529, 000 direct
app economy jobs within the EU 28 members, 60% of which are mobile app developers.
[VisionMobile, Plum Consulting, “European App Economy”, 2013].
By making the research from apps that have mostly the same function, it can
help to develop a lot of ideas and useful information for upcoming project.
Existing machine in Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test
2.2 Biomic V3 Clinical Microbiology System
BIOMIC V3 is an open system utilizing digital imaging to automate the reading and
CLSI and EUCAST interpretation of clinical microbiology tests and QC from various
manufacturers. Systems are customized with optional modules including antibiotic
susceptibility, organism identification, 96-well microtiter*, and colony counting.
2.3 BD Phoenix System
rapid, accurate and reliable detection of known and emerging antimicrobial resistance. It
also enables workflow efficiency by utilizing automated nephelometry, which results in
a standardized isolate inoculum and a reduction in potential technologist error.
Additionally, state-of-the-art data management monitors, analyzes and communicates
actionable results directly to laboratories and clinicians.
2.4 Chromazona
ChromaZona is an IVD certified instrument for automated antibiotic susceptibility
testing and microbial ID, designed for speeding up testing in the clinical laboratory.
Working to EUCAST and CLSI guidelines, the system’s sensitive CCD camera, unique
three channel lighting and powerful Chromogenic ID software, microbial species on
chromogenic plates can be identified in seconds. Then by accurately analysing zones
around antibiotic discs and MIC strips using ChromaZona’s eAST software, appropriate
antibiotics to treat the infection can be determined.
ChromaZona can be easily connected to a LIMS system or, if preferred, reports
can be generated and stored in Excel, eliminating data transfer errors as well as
providing the user with fully traceable information and reports. The stored results can
be analysed at any time and used to identify and monitor incidence of bacterial
resistance, helping to improve infection control.
2.5 Existing Mobile Application
2.5.1 PARTOMETER
Partometer is camera app for object size (length, width, height) measurements. It can
be used for measurements of irregular shaped objects: area and perimeter. Also it
allows to estimate ratio and make measurements on circular objects: radius, diameter,
arc. You can also do pixels measurements on images. It can be used as a camera ruler
or tape measure for accurate measurements on pictures and photos.
2.5.2 SMART MEASURE
Smart Measure allows users to measure the approximate distance and height of an
object. This application utilizes phone’s camera and accelerometer to triangulate the
distance or height of an object using basic geometric equations. The important point is,
users need to calibrate the program and phone to avoid inaccuracy. To calibrate the
program, users must identify the height they’ll holding the phone while measuring.
2.5.3 EASYMEASURE
EasyMeasure shows you the distance to objects seen through the camera lens of your
iPhone, iPad or Android device. Simply aim your device to any object in your
surroundings, and EasyMeasure displays the distance towards that object on top of the
camera image. With its amazing 3D camera overlay grid, using EasyMeasure is very
intuitive and easy.
Conclusion
In a word, making a lot of test from existing project and applications can improve
the understanding and skills about developing the project. However, few studies have
used this methodology for mobile app development. Therefore, test the previous existing
similar project and apps can help to understand the flow to develop the mobile
application.
Figure 3.1 Waterfall Model Methodology
3.1.1 Stage 1: Requirement analysis
During this early stage, the possible requirements of the application are analyzed
thoroughly and documented so that it can be refer during the future development. The outcome
result about requirements that has been documented shows that what the application should do,
but not how it should do it. All the requirements for the application were gathered by
brainstorming and analyzing existing applications.
For this project, the solution is brand new and needs to be created as a set of ideas that
people can agree to. So, brainstorming is simply one of the best technique to get as many ideas as
possible. Brainstorming also is the most effective for solving problems, generate a list of ideas or
focus on the serious issue. After all the ideas are generated, prioritize one idea that think the best
for this solution. The resulting agreement of best ideas is used for the early requirements
3.1.2 Stage 2: Design
For this stage, the idea form brainstorming and result from analyzing existing is studied
to design a better interface in order to satisfy the user. The design for interface should cover
some of basic features in Application Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST). The system is
proposed to design an app based antimicrobial susceptibility test.
3.1.3 Stage 3: Implementation
The implementation stage is begin once the design is approved. This project is develop
using PHP, MySQL, and Android Studio. JSON is a syntax for storing and exchanging data.
Mostly the coding language used is PHP because PHP is a general-purpose scripting language
that is especially suited to server-side web development, in which case PHP generally runs on a
web server.
3.1.4 Stage 4: Testing
At this stage, the apps will be tested. If there is any error occur or detected, it must be
solved at this phase and if there any changes made, it need to be re-implement back to design
phase to make sure that the flow of the apps is not effected.
3.1.5 Stage 5: Deployment
After the apps is free from error and bugs, the apps will then be deployed for market. The
testing that takes place will approve the validity of the system for marketing. By then, it is
mandatory to monitor the apps time to time to make sure that if any changes had to be done, it is
noticed.
3.1.6 Stage 6: Maintenance
For the last stage which is maintenance, the apps will be updates as necessary to keep up
to date with its environment. It focus on change associated with error correction.
