Medmory

Project for HackTeck 2019 @ California Institute of Technology. A SMS system to help patients manage chronic medications via a SMS and cellular call reminder system.

The devpost for this project can be found here.

Architecture

• Django for backend server and SQLite database management.
• React for frontend webpages serving doctors and pharmacists.
• Twilio APIs for patient-facing services.

How to set-up and run the project

Requirements:

• Python 3 and Django for backend
• NodeJS and React installed
• Yarn for node package management.
• Redis to be able to run redis-server for SMS and Reminder scheduling and brokering.
• Ensure that the Huey python library is installed for patient medication reminder scheduling.
• Set-up your Twilio api credentials in a python file called credentials.py in project root.`

For development

0. Install virtualenv and start a virtual environment for managing your python dependencies by running virtualenv and starting it up by source env/bin/activate.
1. Install Dependencies
2. Head to the React source code in frontend and install all dependencies with yarn.
3. In the root folder, run pip install -r requirements.txt to install django dependencies.
4. Run yarn start to start the development server on localhost:3000.
5. After redis-cli is installed, run redis-server on the server.
6. Run ./manage.py run_huey in the root folder to enable task scheduling.
7. In the same root directory, run python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 to start the Django server to begin talking to Twilio APIs and serve the react frontend.
8. Head over to localhost:3000 to start using the application.

For production

0. Install virtualenv and start a virtual environment for managing your python dependencies by running virtualenv and starting it up by source env/bin/activate.
1. Install Dependencies
2. Head to the React source code in frontend and install all dependencies with yarn.
3. In the root folder, run pip install -r requirements.txt to install django dependencies.
4. Run yarn build to build the static files, CSS, HTML, and Javascript code from the react files.
5. After redis-cli is installed, run redis-server on the server.
6. Run ./manage.py run_huey in the root folder to enable task scheduling.
7. In the same root directory, run python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 to start the Django server to begin talking to Twilio APIs and serve the react frontend.
