Description and configuration for Google Firebase Database used for the medical dispenser.
This database stores a simple JSON object, and can update fields within the JSON object.
The data is structured as follows:
{
"patients" : [
"3981820312" : {
"alert" : false,
"dosage" : 4,
"dosesPerDay" : 3,
"name" : Jeffrey Leung",
"nextDispense" : 1474216825.1630926,
"remainingDosage" : 5,
"totalDosage" : 12
}
]
}
The arbitrary number represents the patient number which uniquely identifies each patient.
The Dashboard contacts the Firebase server to store the newest scheduling and dosage data.
The Dispenser retrieves a push notification from the Firebase server and retrieves scheduling and dosage data when it has been updated.
