Project: MediBook

MediBook is a desktop medical records software targeting doctors and administrative staffs in clinics or hospitals to help manage patient details. It is optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI), implemented using JavaFX.

Main highlights of MediBook include:

  • Ability to keep track of patients’ administrative and medical details
  • Ability to store medical consultation notes for each patient
  • Displaying of health metric charts such as BMI
  • Login accounts for doctors for a more streamlined experience (e.g. auto-fill name and medical IC)


Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • Code contributed: RepoSense link

  • New Feature: Added the ability to create/edit/delete medical notes for each patient
    • What it does: Allows users to create, edit and delete medical consultation notes belonging to a patient, when logged in as a doctor and viewing a patient profile page. Autofills doctor’s and patient’s information.
    • Justification: This is a fundamental feature of a medical records software. By only allowing these commands when logged in and viewing a patient profile page, the commands themselves can be streamlined as certain information are automatically retrieved.
    • Highlights: This enhancement took significant effort and required the implementation of many underlying classes, such as Doctor and MedicalNoteList, and established a connection between these classes and Patient. It required an in-depth design analysis to reduce coupling and avoid cyclic dependency. The auto-filling feature required the implementation of ModelContext.
  • New Feature: Doctor verification when editing or deleting medical notes
    • What it does: Restricts editing and deleting of medical notes to the doctor who authored them.
    • Justification: Medical notes are important sensitive information that affect treatment decisions. The integrity of medical notes should be protected. This feature prevents tampering of medical notes by other doctors.
    • Highlights: This feature interacts with login and model context features to check for account match.

  • New Feature: Display of medical notes in reverse chronological order

  • New Feature: Added support for BMI for patients
    • What it does: Auto computation and storing of a patient’s BMI from Height and Weight fields if present.

    • Implemented new Weight field for add feature (Pull requests #26)
