Bootcamp Highlights: Software's Next Top Model at Orion Health

Written by Connor MattsonOrion Health has offices in 15 countries and handles over 100 million patient records. None of this would be possible without careful, deliberate design. On the 6th August, Johnny McDade hosted “Software’s Next Top Model” at the Orion Health offices. Johnny, with the help of other Orion Health staff, gave an introduction to design and talked about its use at the company.Within the tech industry, design is often considered to be just UML diagrams, but the Orion Health team discussed other paradigms such as requirements modelling. From this, we split into groups and designed our own solutions to a problem. Along with solutions, we developed a comprehensive model, ideally one that could be given to a developer and tell them everything needed to build a product. Working with mentors, each group came up with a solution and at the end we were given the chance to present.
