Project: MediTask

MediTask is a desktop application designed to help nurses efficiently manage and track their daily tasks via a Command Line Interface (CLI). This CLI tool streamlines task management, allowing nurses to quickly organize, monitor, and complete tasks, ensuring no important steps are missed.

Summary of Contributions

New Features

• User Interface (Ui.java) Enhancements
  • What it does: Provides methods for displaying information and interacting with users, including main screens, task lists, and patient lists with task completion rates.
  • Highlights: Implemented showTaskScreen and showPatientListWithCompletionRate, which display a formatted list of patients or tasks with visual indicators of completion status, improving user interaction.
  • Challenges: Enhanced completion rate displays, implemented color-coded outputs, and ensured consistent messaging across the UI, enhancing usability.
• Completion Rate Feature (PR #98)
  • What it does: Calculates and displays task completion rates for individual patients and the overall hospital.
  • Justification: Helps users quickly see patient progress, aiding in task prioritization.
  • Implementation Highlights:
    • Show Task List for a Patient: Displays task list with completion percentage.
    • Show Patient List with Completion Rate: Aggregates task completion data across all patients to provide an overall progress view.
• Tag Patient Feature (PR #77)
  • What it does: Allows users to add tags to patients for quick identification (e.g., “VIP” or “Critical”).
  • Implementation:
    • Developed the AddPatientCommand to include optional tags.
    • Displayed tags in formatted outputs, helping users categorize and prioritize patient care.
  • Diagrams: Added class diagram illustrating the relationships and flow for tagging patients.
• Task Tagging Feature (PR #105)
  • What it does: Allows users to add optional tags to tasks (Todo, Deadline, Repeat) for better task categorization and prioritization.
  • Implementation Highlights:
    • Modified constructors and methods across Todo, Deadline, Repeat, and Task classes to accept and display tags.
    • Updated the toString method in Task to display tags, ensuring clear identification of task priorities.
• State Switching for Patient and Task Management(PR #36)
  • What it does: Enables switching between MAIN_STATE (patient management) and TASK_STATE (task management for a selected patient), allowing the system to respond appropriately to context-specific commands.
  • Justification: Improves usability by restricting certain commands based on the application state, ensuring that commands are context-appropriate.
  • Implementation Highlights:
    • SelectPatientCommand: Modified to set the application state to TASK_STATE when a patient is selected, enabling task-specific commands.
    • BackCommand: Implemented functionality to return the application to MAIN_STATE, clearing the selected patient to prevent residual data from affecting the main menu. Added logging to handle and report invalid transitions when already in MAIN_STATE.

Documentation

• Developer Guide (DG): (PR #98)
  • Documented state-switching logic in SelectPatientCommand and BackCommand, detailing the transitions between MAIN_STATE and TASK_STATE.
  • Included a sequence diagram illustrating how state transitions occur when selecting a patient and returning to the main state, helping developers understand the flow of state-dependent commands.
  • Documented Ui class functionalities and methods, including descriptions and sequence diagrams for task completion and patient management features.
  • Added sequence diagrams for showTaskList and showPatientListWithCompletionRate functions (PR #98), showing how data flows through the system.

Enhancements to Existing Features (PR #105)

• Updated Task Creation in Task.java
  • Enhanced createTask method to handle optional tags for Todo, Deadline, and Repeat tasks.
  • Ensured that tagged tasks display correctly in the CLI, providing users with organized and labeled task lists.

Project Management

• Participated in design discussions, contributing to project structure and feature planning.

Testing

• Developed and executed unit tests for Ui.java, validating output methods and ensuring they match expected formats:
  • readCommand and showLine tests for accurate user input handling.
  • Ensured closeScanner function works without exceptions, maintaining resource management.
