Description

This is an app made for the MSWE Fall 2024 Hackathon! This is Pacey, our app intended to help Doctors with pacemaker medical documents.

• Pacemaker printouts are cluttered with data
• Different scanning devices produce printouts in different formats
• This makes determining whether or not a patient requires surgery an unnecessarily long process

This app aims at supplying a tool for the doctors to scan documents and supply them with relevant information such as procedure suggestions.

Features

Our application aims to solve this issue. All the doctor needs to do is open our application, scan or take a picture of a report, and the application will extract the information, analyze it, and determine whether or not the patient needs surgery.

• As of right now scans for pacemaker manufacturer, impedance, install date and battery info from medical documents
• Scan is intended to be from mobile devices but we built it in web app
• From the data scanned and parsed we intend display the relevant info to mobile phone users

Structure

• Docker based app using multiple containers for front end, back end and database (db). compose.yaml contains all relevant info for building all containers.
• Node.js (javascript) for runtime environment
• React for creation of frontend and UI
• Express web framework for Node.js and API calls
• Mysql for database creation and management
• Briefly used Miro for brainstorming of database design
• Python to read text from image and to convert .Pdf to .Png

Installation-and-Running

Provide step-by-step instructions to install and run your project locally.

git clone https://github.com/charlesweng/pacey.git
cd yourproject
docker-compose up

Running docker-compose up will start running the app. This can be performed in any terminal but we preferred using Git Bash

Troubleshooting

If you run into an error with unix formatting, /usr/bin/env: ‘bash\r’: No such file or directory try running this in terminal:

dos2unix entrypoint.sh

Sometimes installs may be needed to remove caches, try running this:

docker-compose build --no-cache

Or for specific modules:

docker-compose build frontend
docker-compose build backend
docker-compose build db

Can also add keywords frontend, backend or db to the no-cache called above as well for specific rebuilds
