Project: HealthCare Xpress

HealthCare Xpress is a desktop application that is to be used by medical administrator for managing patients that require home-visits and nurses. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 16 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to add nurse.
    • What it does: It allows the app to add nurses into HealthCare Xpress.
    • Justification: This is critical in letting the application run as intended. The medical administrator would be able to add nurse and view which nurse might be available for different patients.
    • Highlights: This feature was done mainly by refactoring existing code
  • Major Enhancement: Overhauled the entire help window.
    • What it does: It allows the user to look in the help window to understand the functions more.
    • Justification: It provides a quick and easily access to a help book in case of emergency when there is no internet available. Furthermore, it also provides a sample input and output to show to the user how to use it and the expected outcome.
    • Highlights:
      • There is a mini app display to show sample input and output for the command selected.
      • The text is animated to show the user how it is typed in.
      • There is a search bar for the user to search for the command easily.
      • There is a link to our GitHub page and User guide if the user still does not understand how to use it.
      • There is a help command at the bottom right to show more details on how to use it.
      • Operates in a different thread so you need not wait for the animation to finish before using the app.
  • Minor Enhancements: Overhauled Date checking for date class.
    • What it does: It now not only checks for valid date format but also checks for leap year and valid dates.
    • Justification: It is critical to Healthcare Xpress working properly as date can only be written in 1 format. If written other than designated format before, the app will just totally ignore the user.
    • Highlights:
      • Now checks for valid dates properly.
  • Minor Enhancements: Updated GUI of the app.
    • What it does: Improved looks of program.
    • Justification: To differentiate from other project applications.
