👀 Drishti-plan | mHealth Machine Learning module for Drishti framework

About

Drishti is a conceptual extension of the open mHealth model to behaviour intervention technology adopting the sense-plan-act paradigm from robotics. 👀 Drishti is also a reference implementation with the following components:

• Drishti-sense is open mhealth shimmer that interfaces with various mobile frameworks and provides a uniform API.
• Drishti-plan is a python flask API that provides a (FHIR) careplan based on aggregate data using AI.
• Drishti-act is a SMART-ON-FHIR application in Vue.js that can deliver the careplan to the mobile device as alerts and messages
• Drishti-cog is the central hub and repository, integrating various services using FHIR as the interface standard.
• Drishti-EMR (openmrs-module-drishti) is an OpenMRS module that provide the user interface for clinicians.
• Drishti-PHR (openmrs-owa-drishti) is an OpenMRS OWA that provide the user interface for patients, including authorizing access to their cloud services.

Instructions

• Drishti is not ready for use. The following instructions are only for those who want to contribute/join the project.
• Currently working on Drishti-cog, Drishti-PHR and Drishti-EMR

This starter kit is designed to allow you to create very fast your Flask API.

The primary goal of this project is to remain as unopinionated as possible. Its purpose is not to dictate your project structure or to demonstrate a complete sample application, but to provide a set of tools intended to make back-end development robust, easy, and, most importantly, fun.

This starter kit comes with a tutorial. Check it out if you want a quick tutorial on how to use Flask with this architecure.

Dependencies

You will need docker and docker-compose.

Getting Started

First, clone the project:

$ git clone https://github.com/antkahn/flask-api-starter-kit.git <my-project-name>
$ cd <my-project-name>

Then install dependencies and check that it works

$ make install      # Install the pip dependencies on the docker container
$ make start        # Run the container containing your local python server

If everything works, you should see the available routes here.

The API runs locally on docker containers. You can easily change the python version you are willing to use here, by fetching a docker image of the python version you want.

Commands

While developing, you will probably rely mostly on make start; however, there are additional scripts at your disposal:

make <script>	Description
install	Install the pip dependencies on the server's container.
start	Run your local server in its own docker container.
daemon	Run your local server in its own docker container as a daemon.
db/connect	Connect to your docker database.
db/migrate	Generate a database migration file using alembic, based on your model files.
db/upgrade	Run the migrations until your database is up to date.
db/downgrade	Downgrade your database by one migration.
tests	Run unit tests with unittest in its own container.
lint	Run flake8 on the src directory.

Database

The database is in PostgreSql.

Locally, you can connect to your database using :

$ make db/connect

However, you will need before using this command to change the docker database container's name here.

This kit contains a built in database versioning using alembic. Once you've changed your models, which should reflect your database's state, you can generate the migration, then upgrade or downgrade your database as you want. See Commands for more information.

The migration will be generated by the container, it may possible that you can only edit it via sudo or by running chown on the generated file.

Application Structure

The application structure presented in this boilerplate is grouped primarily by file type. Please note, however, that this structure is only meant to serve as a guide, it is by no means prescriptive.

Development

To develop locally, here are your two options:

$ make start           # Create the containers containing your python server in your terminal
$ make daemon          # Create the containers containing your python server as a daemon

The containers will reload by themselves as your source code is changed. You can check the logs in the ./server.log file.

Testing

To add a unit test, simply create a test_*.py file anywhere in ./test/, prefix your test classes with Test and your testing methods with test_. Unittest will run them automaticaly. You can add objects in your database that will only be used in your tests, see example. You can run your tests in their own container with the command:

$ make tests

Lint

To lint your code using flake8, just run in your terminal:

$ make lint

It will run the flake8 commands on your project in your server container, and display any lint error you may have in your code.

Swagger

Your API needs a description of it's routes and how to interact with them. You can easily do that with the swagger package included in the starter kit. Simply add a docstring to the resources of your API like in the user example. The API description will be available here.
