Web Ceua: Desenvolvimento da API do sistema Web Ceua

Abstract

The digitalization of the processes of the Ethics Committee on the Use of Animals (CEUA) in Fortaleza is extremely necessary to improve efficiency, facilitate decision-making and boost growth. Currently, all project management is conducted manually, using emails, forms and spreadsheets at each stage, from registration to activity control. Given the continuous increase in the number of projects, this approach becomes increasingly complex. Faced with this challenge, CEUA chose to implement a system that facilitates project submission and management. For that reason, the webCeua system Application Programming Interface (API) was developed, offering different levels of access, such as researcher, reviewer and administrator. This differentiation of access aims to provide a personalized experience, allowing each user to play their role effectively. Furthermore, the API makes it possible to monitor the history between the different versions of a project, providing transparency and facilitating queries. By integrating these features, the API significantly contributes to the creation of an easy-to-use and intuitive application, aligned with CEUA in Fortaleza’s objectives to modernize and optimize its processes.
