The backend provides RESTful APIs to the front-end app and is built with Django-rest-framework.
Overall, my contributions were:
- Built the front-end web app using React.js.
- Implemented graph drawing using highchart.js.
- Built RESTful APIs using Django rest framework.
- Implemented the algorithm that predicts biopsy matching the patient using Kaplan Meier estimator. - Slack-like Text Messaging Web and Mobile App (Development)
