Welcome to Med Cabinet (Jan 6, 2020 - Lambda Build Week)!

Team:

UI: Shawn Patel and Erik Rodriguez // React1: Issac Moreno // React2: Mariela Gonzales and Lexie Jiang // Backend: Bradley Zickafoose // Data Engineer: Nisha Arya Ahmed, Michelle Hottinger and Dylan Nason // Machine Learning: Ira Evangelista and Bhavani Rajan // Project Lead: Anthony Hart

Proposal:

App for new cannabis consumers (especially those trying to get off of pharmaceuticals) who want to use cannabis as a means to battle medical conditions and ailments. Help patients find the right strains, dosing, intake method and intake schedule! Use user data along with strain data to build ML models to guide recommendations.

  • What problem does your app solve?

    • Patients unable to find proper cannabis strain, dosage, intake method, and intake schedule.
    • Turning away from pharmaceuticals / finding healthy alternatives and providing customized care for each customer
    • Pitch: App for new cannabis consumers (especially those trying to get off of pharmaceuticals) who want to use cannabis as a means to battle medical conditions and ailments. Help patients find the right strains, dosing, intake method and intake schedule! Use user data along with strain data to build ML models to guide recommendations.

  • Be as specific as possible; how does your app solve the problem?

    • Reduce polypharmacy by using the right strain and dose of cannabis. Overall this can simplify a patient’s treatment while increasing treatment success by reducing side effects due to polypharmacy.

  • What is the mission statement?

    • Help patients find the right strains, dosing, intake method and intake schedule!

Features:

  • What features are required for your minimum viable product?

    • For DS
      • Source and analyze data to better understand the reported effects of different cannabis strains/types
      • Data Sources (need to be confirmed): https://www.kaggle.com/kingburrito666/cannabis-strains
      • Given this, create a model to predict which strains/types a user would enjoy based on their input (desired effects). Can use any techniques you wish.
      • Make the recommendations accessible to the rest of the team via a Flask API or equivalent.
    • For Web
      • User creation and login
      • Form to gather data from the user to submit to the DS API
      • User can save response from the DS API to the Web backend in the user's - profile
      • User can view saved responses and filter them in a useful way
      • User can edit/delete saved responses in the user's profile.

  • What features may you wish to put in a future release?

    • Link user to dispensary that has product that fulfills their needs

  • What do the top 3 similar apps do for their users?

Frameworks - Libraries:

Target Audience:

  • Who is your target audience? Be specific.

    • People who are currently taking many pharmaceuticals
    • Medical marijuana patients
    • All types of patients

  • What feedback have you gotten from potential users?

    • It's healthier than prescriptions

  • Have you validated the problem and your solution with your target audience? How?

Research:

  • Research thoroughly before writing a single line of code. Solidify the features of your app conceptually before implementation. Spend the weekend researching so you can hit the ground running on Monday. Prototype Key Feature(s)

  • This is the “bread and butter” of the app, this is what makes your app yours. Calculate how long it takes to implement these features and triple the time estimated. That way you’ll have plenty of time to finish. It is preferred to drop features and spend more time working on your MVP features if needed.

Instructions

Read these instructions carefully.

This is a team assignment with individual assessments. All work must be your own but remember to collaborate with everyone on your team. Your challenge score is a measure of your ability to work independently using the material covered through this sprint and there is a score on overall teamwork. You need to demonstrate proficiency in the concepts and objectives introduced and practiced in preceding days.

Commits

In case you ever need to return to old code. Remember your ABC: Always Be Committing!

Project Set Up

Follow these steps to set up and work on your project:

  • Clone your OWN version of Repo.
  • Create a new Branch on the clone: git checkout -b <firstName-lastName>.
  • Implement the project on this branch, committing changes regularly.
  • Push commits: git push origin <firstName-lastName>.
  • LOOK at your project directory and notice it's just a plain ol' React App that we've built using create-react-app.
  • RUN yarn install or npm install to retrieve the client-side dependencies.
  • RUN yarn start or npm start to fire up your React application.
  • RUN yarn add or npm i to add frameworks and libraries needed for your project (i.e. redux, formik, yup, react-router-dom, etc.).

Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

  1. User creation and login
  2. Strain recommender
  3. Save recommendations

STRETCH GOALS 💪

  1. Link user to dispensary that has product that fulfills their needs (web).

  2. Improve model performance by sourcing additional data and/or tuning hyperparameters (ds).
