Overview
Giatros is a desktop patient record application used to keep track of patient data in a hospital. Written in Java, the user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. One of the main features of Giatros is its ability to track various allergies for each patient, something that medical professionals often overlook. This may lead to tragedy, such as death due to drug allergy, as seen in this news article. This software is built upon an existing application: Address Book - Level 4 by MIT SE-EDU.
Summary of contributions
-
Major enhancement: Added the ability to add/remove allergies
-
What it does: Allows the user to add allergies to an existing patient or remove allergies from an existing patient.
-
Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because the current edit command will overwrite the existing allergies whenever new allergies are specified. The
addall
andremall
commands allow user to add and remove allergies from the existing list associated to a patient. -
Highlights: This enhancement extends the ability of the existing
add
andedit
commands, which allows user to create a patient with allergies displayed as colourful tags.
-
-
Minor enhancement:
-
Updated the GUI colour scheme.
-
Changed the landing page of the application.
-
Changed the UI to show the search result of the first allergy when the patient is selected.
-
Added colours to the various allergies for easier identification.

Contributions to the User Guide
Given below are sections I contributed to the User Guide. They showcase my ability to write documentation targeting end-users. |
Adding allergy to a patient: addall
Adds one or more allergies to an existing patient in Giatros.
Format: addall INDEX y/ALLERGY [y/ALLERGY]…
Allergy names should be alphanumeric, i.e. |
Examples:
-
addall 1 y/ibuprofen
Adds the allergyibuprofen
to the 1st patient in the list. -
addall 3 y/aspirin y/amoxicillin
Adds two allergies,aspirin
andamoxicillin
to the 3rd patient in the list.
Removing allergy from a patient: remall
Allergy names should be alphanumeric, i.e. |
Removes one or more allergies to an existing patient in Giatros.
Format: remall INDEX y/ALLERGY [y/ALLERGY]…

login
command.
Logging in to the application : login
Allows a guest to login and start using the application.
Format: login id/USERNAME pw/PASSWORD
A dummy staff account with sample data is available by default. Username: STAFF and Password: 1122qq
|
Logging out of the application : logout
Allows the user to logout when done with the session.
Format: logout
You can only logout when you have been logged in. |
Registering a new staff to use the application : register

Add/Remove Allergy Feature
Current Implementation
The add and remove allergy feature is implemented to extend the functionality of Allergy
tags.
Currently, the edit
command will overwrite the existing Allergy
tags if user attempts to edit the existing Allergy
.
With the addall
and remall
command, it is now possible to add or remove a single or multiple allergies associated with a patient.
The functionality of the classes related to addall
and remall
are listed below:
-
AddallCommandParser
andRemallCommandParser
— Reads the user input and createAddallCommand
andRemallCommand
object respectively. -
AddallCommand
andRemallCommand
— When executed, the command will result in the addition or removal of a single or multiple allergies. -
Allergy
— An object that models allergy. It contains a String describing the name of the allergy.
A patient’s Allergy
is stored in a Java HashSet, which stores only unique Allergy
object.
This feature makes use of this behaviour of a HashSet to allow user to add or remove allergies from the patient.
-
addall
command uses the.addAll()
method, which takes in a set ofAllergy
objects and add them in if they are not inside the set already. -
remall
command uses the.remAll()
method, which takes in a set ofAllergy
objects and remove them if they are actually inside in the set.
Given below is an example usage scenario and how the add allergy mechanism behaves at each step.
Step 1. The user launches the application and logs into the STAFF account.
Step 2. Assuming that the patient list is not empty, the user executes addall 1 y/newallergy
to add newallergy to the first patient in the list.
Step 3. This command in string format will be passed to the AddallCommandParser, which will check if the command format is valid.
Step 4. Since this command has a valid format, the system will create a new AddallCommand object, which will be executed.
Step 5. The system will locate the first patient in the patient list, and adds the non-existing allergy to the unique list of patient allergy.
The following sequence diagram shows how the add allergy operation works:
The remove allergy mechanism behaves similarly to the add allergy mechanism. Below is the example usage scenario.
Step 1. The user launches the application and logs into the STAFF account.
Step 2. Assuming that the patient list is not empty, the user executes remall 1 y/existingallergy
to remove existingallergy to the first patient in the list.
Step 3. This command in string format will be passed to the AddallCommandParser, which will check if the command format is valid.
Step 4. Since this command has a valid format, the system will create a new AddallCommand object, which will be executed.
Step 5. The system will locate the first patient in the patient list, and removes the existing allergy from the unique list of patient allergy.
The following sequence diagram shows how the remove allergy operation works:
Design Consideration
Aspect: Data structure to support the add/remove allergy commands
-
Alternative 1 (current choice): Use a HashSet to store the list of allergy.
-
Pros: Supports the addition and removal of allergy. Additionally, by storing unique list of allergy, we minimise the risk of inputting duplicate allergy by accident.
-
Cons: Slightly harder to implement as compared to a String representation.
-
-
Alternative 2: Use a String to store the list of allergy.
-
Pros: Easier to implement when compared to using a HashSet.
-
Cons: Every time we add or remove an allergy, we need to retype the whole lists of allergies because the previous String will simply be overwritten by the new String.
