Project: MediSync

MediSync is a desktop app specifically used for head nurses to manage staff and patients, optimised for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI). Instead of tracking data of staff and patients using existing applications such as Microsoft Excel, using a CLI-centric application like MediSync will help head nurses track and handle contact management more quickly.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

• Code contributed: RepoSense link

• New Feature: Implemented the addaffn command (PR: #107)

  • It enables user to add affiliation on top of a person current affiliation rather than to overwrite it.
  • This feature was comfortable to implement as it can rely on the AffiliationModifier class created earlier.

• New Feature: Implemented the removeah command (PR: #137)

  • It enables user to remove affiliation history of Person.
  • The difficulties of this implementation lies on how existing affiliation affects the removal of the affiliation history and how the affiliated person's affiliation history is changed.
  • Careful consideration of the removeah command was required to ensure no logic flaws are introduced to the affiliation and affiliation history of a Person.

• New Feature: Introduced the NextOfKin attribute and implemented nok command (PR: #148, #157)

  • The NextOfKin attribute is introduced for Person class.
  • The nok command enables user to add next-of-kin details of Patient.
  • Since only Patient objects will have this attribute, the NextOfKin attribute and command was designed to work with the existing Patient class, while ensuring its compatibility with the existing Person class, especially during testing phase.
  • The difficulties of this implementation lies on the design of the attribute and the storing the data to storage as NextOfKin attribute contains many subclasses.

• Technical Additions: Introduced the AuthenticateAffiliation and AffiliationModifier classes that are utilised in varying areas of the project (PRs: #96)

  • The AuthenticateAffiliation is utilised whenever there is an affiliation needs to be added. This class ensures that the affiliations can be added without introducing any logic error.
  • The AffiliationModifier is utilised whenever there is an affiliation needs to be modified. This class ensures that the affiliations are correctly modified without introducing any logic error.
  • The difficulties of this implementation lies on the design and logic of how affiliation attribute should behave under Patient, Nurse and Doctor Objects.

• Enhancements to existing features:

  • Modify add and edit command to comply with AuthenticateAffiliation and AffiliationModifier classes to prevent logic flaws. (PRs: #96)
  • Modify edit command to restrict modifying of role attribute. (PRs: #135)
  • Updated the saving, reading and verification of JSON file to include NextOfKin attribute and ensure data is thoroughly checked with any sort of violation in the data is flagged as invalid data. (PRs: #160)

• Documentation:

  • User Guide:

    • Modified documentation for commands edit.
    • Added documentation for commands addaffn, removeah, nok (PR: #161).
    • Adjusted the Command Summary table. (PR: #161).

  • Developer Guide:

    • Updated Model component on AuthenticateAffiliation and AffiliationModifier. (PR: #143).

• Community:

  • PRs reviewed (with non-trivial review comments): #132
  • Reported bugs and suggestions for other teams in the class (examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
