Single Page Applications (SPA) complemented by Representational State Transfer (REST) are key tools for data management in critical environments such as hospital systems. This research evaluated the performance of a REST-based SPA designed to manage medical records in a university hospital. Multiple functional modules were developed and integrated into the application using the agile Scrum methodology. Load simulations were performed using Apache JMeter to measure its performance, analyzing response time and server processing capacity metrics.
The results showed an average performance of 99,2 %, with response times that met the ISO/IEC 25010 standard criteria. Statistical analyses showed consistent performance across loads, demonstrating system stability and efficiency. Previous academic studies support the idea that REST-enhanced SPAs are an efficient alternative for hospital environments due to their high responsiveness and functionality.
This study emphasizes the importance of quality metrics in assessing critical applications and proposes that REST-based SPAs represent a practical and efficient solution for healthcare systems. However, testing under real-world operating conditions is recommended to validate these findings. The findings lay a solid foundation for future advancements in similar systems, highlighting the potential of these technologies to improve data management and user experience in hospital management environments
