SMART Glucose Logbook: Patient App

Arjun Sanyal [email protected] Josh Mandel [email protected]

This is the patient-facing SMART Glucose Logbook App. It runs as a standalone Python WSGI app and also includes metadata to make running on AppFog simple, but it can be run easily on other cloud hosting platforms. It integrates with Microsoft HealthVault for patient authentication and for storage of the patient's personal health data via the healthvault_py Python library which included as a git submodule. Both reading and writing of data to the patient's HealthVault account is supported.

The app is written with the support of the AngularJS "framework" and the code is organized using a stripped-down version of the angular-seed sample repository. The visualization are written using the D3 JavaScript visualization and interaction library.

TODO

• Document HealthVault setup

Directory Structure

• The /app, /config, /logs, /scripts, /test directories are from https://github.com/angular/angular-seed

AppFog Setup

• requirements.txt

  • This file describes the dependecies (including versions) for this app. Without it AppFog's virtual server's wouldn't have the libraries installed that this app needs.

    flask==0.8 pycrypto==2.6 lxml==2.3.4

• manifest.yml

  • Defines the configuration parameters for the desired AppFog instance
  • Change the file for your preferred settings

Running Locally

You must have root permissions to run the app locally since it is configured by default to listen on port 80. You can change this in the wsgi.py script. To start on localhost port 80:

$ sudo python wsgi.py

Running on AppFog

Assuming you have the AppFog commadline app installed and are logged in using it, updating and starting the app should be simply:

$ af apps
$ af push <your-app-name>
$ af update <your-app-name> --debug
$ af logs <your-app-name> --all
