System Requirements Document (SRD)

calm-hospital

1. Introduction

The calm-hospital project is designed to streamline patient management for hospital staff in India. This system will focus on providing a premium dashboard UI for efficient CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) on patient records, along with individual patient visualizations such as graphs and charts. The goal is to enhance hospital workflows and ensure staff can manage patient data effectively while maintaining a visually appealing and intuitive interface.

This document outlines the system requirements for the calm-hospital project, ensuring alignment with the needs of hospital staff and the healthcare environment in India.

2. System Overview

The calm-hospital system will serve as a centralized platform for hospital staff to manage patient data. It will include features for adding, editing, deleting, and updating patient records, as well as generating individual health metrics visualizations (graphs and charts). The system will prioritize usability and aesthetics, offering a premium dashboard UI that simplifies complex workflows.

Key objectives:

• Optimize patient data management.
• Provide clear and actionable health insights through visualizations.
• Ensure the interface is intuitive and visually appealing.
• Support scalability and reliability for hospital operations.

3. Functional Requirements

Story Points:

• As Hospital Staff, I should be able to add new patient records.
• As Hospital Staff, I should be able to edit existing patient records.
• As Hospital Staff, I should be able to delete patient records.
• As Hospital Staff, I should be able to update patient records.
• As Hospital Staff, I should be able to view individual patient graphs and charts.
• As Hospital Staff, I should have access to a premium dashboard UI for managing patient data.

4. User Personas

1. Hospital Staff

• Role: Doctors, nurses, administrative staff.
• Needs: Efficient tools for managing patient data, visualizing health metrics, and accessing a user-friendly dashboard.
• Pain Points: Time-consuming data entry, lack of visual insights, and outdated interfaces.

2. System Administrator

• Role: IT personnel responsible for system maintenance.
• Needs: Tools to manage user roles, monitor system performance, and ensure data security.
• Pain Points: Complexity in managing permissions and troubleshooting issues.

5. Visuals Colors and Theme

Color Palette:

• Background: #F5F9FC (Soft Sky Blue)
• Surface: #FFFFFF (Pure White)
• Text: #2C3E50 (Deep Slate Gray)
• Accent: #3498DB (Vibrant Azure Blue)
• Muted Tones: #BDC3C7 (Calm Silver Gray)

This palette reflects a clean, professional, and calming aesthetic suitable for a hospital environment.

6. Signature Design Concept

Concept: Interactive Health Metrics Dashboard

The homepage will feature a dynamic patient health metrics dashboard. Upon logging in, hospital staff will be greeted with an interactive visualization of patient data. The dashboard will include:

• Live Graph Animations: Health metrics (e.g., vitals, treatment progress) will animate in real-time, offering instant insights.
• Hover-to-Expand Charts: Hovering over a chart will expand it, providing detailed metrics and trends.
• Customizable Widgets: Staff can drag and drop widgets to personalize their dashboard layout.
• Premium Aesthetic: Smooth transitions, subtle shadows, and gradient highlights will create a polished look.
• Micro-Interactions: Buttons and icons will respond with subtle animations (e.g., ripple effects) to enhance user engagement.

This design will make the system visually captivating while ensuring functionality remains at the forefront.

7. Non-Functional Requirements

• Performance: The system must handle up to 10,000 patient records without performance degradation.
• Scalability: Support for additional modules (e.g., appointment scheduling, billing) in the future.
• Security: Ensure compliance with healthcare data regulations in India (e.g., HIPAA-equivalent standards).
• Availability: 99.9% uptime guarantee.
• Localization: Support for English and regional Indian languages.

8. Tech Stack

Frontend:

• React for Web (preferred for scalability and modern UI design).

Backend:

• Python with FastAPI (lightweight and efficient).

Database:

• MySQL or MariaDB (preferred for structured patient data).
• Alembic for database migrations.

AI Models:

• GPT 5.4 for user-friendly responses.
• Claude 4.6 Opas for academic or coding work.

AI Tools:

• Langchain for workflow automation.
• Litellm for LLM routing.

Orchestration:

• Docker for local development.
• Kubernetes for server-side orchestration.

9. Assumptions and Constraints

Assumptions:

• The system will primarily be used by hospital staff in India.
• Internet connectivity is stable in the hospital environment.
• Staff are familiar with basic computer operations.

Constraints:

• Compliance with Indian healthcare data regulations.
• Limited budget for initial deployment.
• System must integrate with existing hospital IT infrastructure.
