The present thesis details the development of a platform belonging to a project focused on the development and commercialization of Smart Health solutions in Portugal. The platform in question aims to facilitate the integration testing and clinical trial of medical devices, utilizing a standard to establish a uniform set of semantics and nomenclatures and provide proper protection and storage of the data. For the development of the project, research was made into the matters of clinical trials, regulatory norms and standards capable of applying them, with HL7 FHIR being the clear standout. Furthermore, a value analysis of the idea of the platform was conducted, highlighting the interest for it and the benefits it might bring. This was followed by the proper analysis and design of the platform, which entailed not only documenting the context under which it would operate (its architecture, through multiple views), but also the various concepts and functionalities that were to be considered (its use cases and domain). The implementation of these ideas was also exposed, with the support of code snippets, and its consequent experimentation and evaluation was done to confirm its capacity in data storage and the efficiency in its performance when faced with rigorous data sets.
