Planning

Below outlines the long term goals for this application as well as any additional features that are desired to be implemented by the group. There is also a section on completed goals for the design.

Completed Features (For April 6th, 2012)

• Creation and implementation of the Mole, Tag, and Picture Models
• Creation and implementation of the Views associated with out mock-up design
• implementation of functionality for majority of the views and controllers
• appropriate documentation of the models, controllers, and views for future developers and users
• Database loading and saving for loading of sessions and completion of sessions
• tagging images with simple strings and tags to better pull from a database
• searching options for moles and pictures (with tags) and sorting options (time, reverse-time)

Additional Features

• Add in a notification system that will inform the user to take an updated photo. give 1 week for implementation and testing ** in addition, add in capability to organize update rate per "mole" set (daily, weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, ...). Give additional 2 days for implementation and testing
• password protection of the application so that people cannot access the application. give 1 day for implementation and testing, leeway of an additional day given the unknown complexity of this implementation.
• picture encryption of the photos stored (will require encryption and decryption of images). Given a week for implementation and testing as unfamiliar ground for group. Postpone implementation to after password protection has been added so that password can be used as the encryption key.
• add in e-mail functionality for the application, along with packaging photos for the physician. give week and a half for implementation and testing as unfamiliar territory, along with foreseeable difficulties with internet connectivity issues.
• add in ability for Doctor to access and view the patient blemishes, therefore requiring an additional id tag for patient to be applied. This requires the ability for an "administrator" level of functionality for the doctor and patient moles and pictures having an additional patient_id tag. give an additional 2 weeks for this implementation as there are a number of factors to account for with implementation along with multiple views to be added for a doctor to effectively sort through patients' records.
• doctor browsing of patient's photos will be already implemented and just require porting over to the doctor's view (assuming we cannot reuse the previously established view). 1-2 hours for implementation.
