medAL-hub Documentation

The purpose of medAL-hub is 3-fold:

1. Relay between the tablets, thus allowing to start a consultation on a tablet and finish it on another one (client-server).
2. Local database for the clinical data.
3. Hub for the data synchronisation with the National server (medAL-data).

• medAL-hub user guide
• medAL-hub troubleshooting guide

There are 2 scripts on the hub for syncing:

1. script #1 runs everyday at 4PM and sends all the cases closed but unsynced to the server
2. script #2 runs every minute and sends all the cases closed for more than 25 hours that have not yet been sent to the server

• huge caveat : the raspberry pi does not have a physical clock. Meaning, everytime it loses power, it does not know what time it is until it gets the time from the internet
