Do you need some custom logic in your medical backend? Run custom code in a certified environment using the Task Service.

Some common use cases where you can leverage the Task Service include:

Data synchronization To synchronize data between Extra Horizon other systems, a task can be created. This task can run on a schedule or can be triggered by an event.

Daily reporting Run a reporting task to aggregate data from the data service into a daily report.
Creating custom endpoints An API Function can be used to create custom endpoints, enabling an IoT Device to perform simple HTTP requests to push, process and synchronize data.
The task service has two logical entities: functions and tasks.
A function contains the business logic, the code that you want to execute.
A task is represents the execution of a function with a set of inputs.
Functions and tasks are the two main concepts in this service.
A function is the single unit of code that can be executed within the executable piece of code that an executable
A task represents the execution of a specific function.
