Audiometry

App for macOS 13+

While this is a valid app for everyday use, it's more of an exercise in learning SwiftUI and persistent data storage. Think of it as a way to practice SwiftUI with a functional app that you can modify to your liking.

Summary

• Xcode 15.2 project
• App runs on macOS13+
• Features:
  • patient data entry
  • audiometric test input
  • hearing loss assessment calculations
  • including SAL and ELI indices with results display
  • dual storage system: CoreData and SwiftUI storage (toggle between them)
  • save patients data in core data or JSON file
  • language system with English and Spanish
  • buttons to move back and forth between saved patients
  • search button
  • print report of current patient
  • sample data to have patients already in the first run.

Dual Storage Implementation

The application supports two different storage mechanisms that you can switch between:

1. CoreData Storage - Traditional Apple framework using SQLite database
2. SwiftUI Storage - Native SwiftUI approach using JSON files

A segmented control at the top of the window allows you to switch between storage modes. Each storage system maintains its own separate data.

The implementation of SwiftUI Storage alongside CoreData Storage allows users to compare the two approaches side-by-side. Users can now toggle between both storage methods to learn about them and evaluate which best suits their needs.

SwiftUI Storage

The application of the swiftui branch implements only the SwiftUI storage system.

Patient data saved

Patient data are saved in different files depending on the storage mode:

CoreData Storage

/Users/<user_name>/Library/Containers/perez987.Audiometry/Data/Library/Application Support/Audiometry/DataModel.sqlite

SwiftUI Storage

/Users/<user_name>/Library/Containers/perez987.Audiometry/Data/Library/Application Support/Audiometry/patients.json

You can bring your saved data back by copying those files (SQLite database and JSON file) to a different machine and running the Audiometry app on it.
