MiNap: User-Facing Front End

Summary

This article walks through the MiNap application ecosystem, specifically the two front-end apps and researcher's dashboard.

 

Details

Introduction

The MiNap application ecosystem consist of two main applications:

  • The smartwatch application for participants to record data.

  • The companion mobile application to allow add-on features for participants such as Bluetooth login and feedback on a sleep session.

 

MiNap Smartwatch App

The MiNap smartwatch app, tailored for Apple Watches using Swift, offers users a suite of features including a distinct app icon, login functionality, sleep recording, wake-up alarms, and a logout option.

Developers can delve into the app's source code on the new-frontend branch of MiNap's GitHub repository.

 

MiNap Mobile App

The application has been meticulously developed utilizing React Native, thereby ensuring adaptability across diverse platforms. It comprises several distinct interfaces, including the 'Login' interface, a 'Survey' interface that presents binary (yes-or-no) inquiries, and a 'Log out' interface. For a comprehensive visual elucidation, refer to the following video demo.

 

Researchers' Dashboard

The data within the Oracle database is available for reporting through Tableau, a data visualization tool for gaining insights about the collected data. 

Visualizations can be for a specific study id but can be detailed for each study participant for better insights. The visualizations are aimed to help researchers comprehend the data at a glance and identify anomalies.
