MediLink Contacts aims to help medical staff including nurses/doctors/pharmacists navigate through patient details in their high workload and time-pressured working environment. When medical emergencies arise, it becomes crucial to provide rapid access to emergency contacts for patients and access other details of the patients to make decisions more quickly. It is optimised for CLI so that users can quickly access the information. There is also a GUI created with JavaFX.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to undo/redo previous commands (done with Tanveer).
    • What it does: allows the user to undo all previous commands one at a time. Preceding undo commands can be reversed by using the redo command.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user can make mistakes in commands and the app should provide a convenient way to rectify them.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to existing commands.
  • New Feature: Allowed only specific tags to be added for patients and doctors respectively.
    • What it does: restricts the user to only enter specific tags for patients and doctors. Patients can only have up to one tag specifying their priority level. Doctors can have up to multiple tags specifying their specialisations.
    • Justification: This feature ensures that tags have a clear purpose and users cannot enter tags that do not add value to the patient or doctor (e.g adding Engineer tag for a doctor).
    • Highlights: While this enhancement itself did not affect much other commands, the implementation itself was challenging as it required choosing between different implementation methods, and choosing the most future-proof and OOP-friendly one.

  • Project management:
    • Regularly reviewed teammates’ PRs on GitHub with feedback.
    • Added issues on GitHub for various tasks.
    • Did extensive manual testing to find new bugs during v1.4
  • Enhancements to existing features:
    • Created classes for new fields for Patient and Doctor classes, such as BloodType, NRIC etc.
    • Wrote additional tests for existing features such as Patient fields, UndoCommand and Tags.
  • Documentation:

      • Added documentation for the features delete and usage of special tags.
      • Created Parameters table to highlight valid parameter inputs, their constraints and examples.
      • Inserted UI screenshots for a few find commands.
    • Developer Guide:
      • Added implementation details of the delete feature.
      • Modified UML diagram for DeleteSequenceDiagram.
      • Added Use Case for UndoCommand and extensions for EditCommand.
      • Added UML diagrams to illustrate the implementation of the UndoCommand and RedoCommand.
      • Added section for manual testing and multiples test cases and their behaviours.
