Requirements analysis and management for a laboratory middleware

The objective of the project is software that works in the laboratory as an interface between multiple different devices and other software solutions such as hospital information systems and / or laboratory information systems from third-party providers. A central task of the laboratory middleware is to enable basic workflow in the laboratory, including order creation, test requests, and technical validation of the results. Along with the management of samples, tests and results, additional focus is placed on controlling of sample distribution in the laboratory. This area includes workflow control for laboratory devices and primary preparation of samples for measurements, as well as the distribution of samples to analysis devices and sample archiving. The laboratory middleware also provides additional functionalities that expand the basic functionality but which are not absolutely required to ensure correct functioning of the application.
