HealthTracker is a tool that allows users to take charge of their health conditions by logging personalized daily information. Users can then use the accumulated daily data to identify personal triggers to avoid or know when extra medication may be necessary. Features include daily item logging, custom item trackers, manual data review, query of logged items to find common occurrences, and graphical presentation of longitudinal data.
Backend: Python, Flask, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy
Frontend: JavaScript, jQuery, AJAX, Jinja2, D3, Bootstrap, HTML5, CSS3
API: AirNOW

To have this app running on your local computer, please follow the below steps:
Install PostgreSQL
Clone or fork this repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/lenaireland/healthapp.git
Create a virtual environment inside your healthapp directory:
$ virtualenv env
Activate the virtual environment:
$ source env/bin/activate
Install dependencies:
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Sign up to use the AirNOW API and obtain an API key. Save it to a file secrets.sh, along with a secret key you choose for the app. Your file should look something like this:
export SECRET_KEY = 'xyz'
export AIRNOW_KEY= = 'abc'
Source your keys from your secrets.sh file into your virtual environment:
$ source secrets.sh
Create database 'health'.
$ createdb health
Create your database tables and seed example data.
$ python3 model.py
$ python3 seed.py
If you want to use SQLAlchemy to query the database, you can run the model in interactive mode
$ python3 -i model.py
Run the app from the command line.
$ python3 server.py
You can now navigate to 'localhost:5000/' to access HealthTracker.
