Project overview

Refactor/Expand Comparative/Trend Analysis App with charts and maps

The purpose of the Comparative/Trend app is to enable visual comparisons of charts and maps by placing them side-by-side or in a grid. For maps, the purpose is to show the same basic map for different time periods, so that changes over time become visible. An example could be a map showing measles incidence by district, week by week. For charts, the purpose is to show the same chart from multiple organisation units. An example could be a line chart showing the trend in a disease over time, district by district. The maps and charts could either be based on either existing chart or map favourites, or made ad-hoc based on selecting an indicator.

Our interpretation

To complete this task, we have decided to first analyze the base app that was provided to us. Based on this analysis we decided to completely re-implement the app using React, ES6, and other modern web programming tools. We aim to create a new app based on the functionality of the existing one. This new app will have a UI design more in line with the existing DHIS design language, and will aim to be a more intuitive user experience.

Our goals

  • Improve the design
  • Improve the user experience
  • Improve the code structure and readability
  • Improve performance
  • Add a map comparison feature
