Web Application and Portal Development
MemCog is a UK software development company providing a highly specialised and personal development experience. Web development services range from attractive portal solutions to complex feature rich applications.
Front end solutions are designed around an MVC architecture with a strong emphasis on web standards, reliability, security and scalability. Battle tested frameworks such as ExtJS, React and Bootstrap are typically used to develop the UI, with custom CSS to give your applications a unique and personalised look.
Server side, solutions can be developed against existing infrastructure and a wide variety of existing SQL and NoSQL database solutions. For greenfield solutions, databases such as PostgreSQL or MongoDB provide a low cost of ownership. These solutions are typically developed within a service oriented architecture using SOAP, REST or JSON-RPC. Depending on existing infrastructure these services would be developed using .NET, Node.JS or where needed an industrial grade integration engine.
Using tried and tested practices, solutions are quickly prototyped to allow clients to steer the project from the front. The client always owns the final solution and will receive both the full source code as well as documentation.
Case Study: EDT Document Portal
The EDT Document Portal was developed for a large NHS Trust to integrate and manage the delivery of electronic patient documents between the Trust and GP Practices.
The portal provides a view of daily reports and the ability to manage failed deliveries. Processing upwards of a million documents a year, users can perform ultra fast searches, list, view and manage documents.
Case Study: Mirth Channel Viewer
Mirth can be a difficult Integration Engine to trace the flow of messages, particularly in a complex NHS environment.
The Mirth Channel Viewer is a web portal that was developed to visualise the flow of messages in and out of each channel. Using the channel exports, the web portal tool allows the end user to drag and drop the channels into a flow diagram that can be searched or printed.
The Mirth Channel Viewer has been used for two large PAS migrations, a Mirth to Ensemble migration and is currently being used for a second Mirth to Ensemble migration. For enquiries on using this tool please contact MemCog below.
Systems Integration
MemCog is a leading provider of Integration services with a strong track record working in the healthcare sector. MemCog's lead consultant has over 20 years experience working in the NHS, having worked with over 20 Trusts, Scottish boards, NHS Scotland, EMIS and Lab Systems.
Delivering the first Ensemble deployment in the NHS over 12 years ago and having worked with Intersystems Cache for 16 years, MemCog has a deep understanding of the inner workings of these products and can provide an unparalleled service in the market.

Products: OrmJS
OrmJS is an object relational mapping framework with a difference. Whilst many ORM solutions only work on the server, OrmJS works both on the browser and on the server, providing end developers with rapid development of database driven single page applications. The benefits of this design require less boiler plate code as well as providing auto completion goodness on client side objects.
Another distinctive feature of OrmJS is that it supports both relational databases and NoSQL databases such as MongoDB. This provides various benefits including rapid prototyping, schema driven development for NoSQL databases, and the option to mix and swap databases with minimal code.
OrmJS is currently underpinning a number of working projects and is supported by 30,000 automated unit tests. The solution is in the final stages of public deployment and will be released November 2016.
Products: Cortex JS
Cortex JS is a ground up UI framework developed entirely from scratch. The framework was developed for an in-house desktop grade IDE that will work in the cloud, as part of an object oriented transcompiler project. It includes widgets for border layouts, flex and fixed layours, tabs, menus, trees, accordions and forms. The framework is currently in Alpha and will be released early 2017 as an open source solution.
