Macro MyPal Notification App

Overview

The MyPal Notification App is a Flutter-based component of the MyPal project, designed to enhance patient care through smart and personalized notification scheduling. This app plays a crucial role in managing and timing notifications effectively, ensuring that patients receive reminders and prompts at the most suitable moments, tailored to their individual cancer-related schedules and preferences. The core functionality of the app is built around expert-driven logic that identifies and excludes poorly timed moments for notifications, helping to improve patient engagement and ensure the timely completion of important questionnaires. By leveraging detailed patient data and expert input, the app aligns with the MyPal project's mission to provide a more personalized and patient-centric digital health experience. It's important to note that this repository contains only the notification framework and macro-layer logic—responsible for determining the optimal timing for notifications based on available data. This app is not a standalone solution and requires integration with the rest of the MyPal application to function as intended. Without the full MyPal system, this component will not operate independently, as it relies on the broader MyPal infrastructure for patient data and overall system interactions.
