Details

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep is seeking to enhance its data reporting capabilities by developing a one-click reporting system for key performance metrics. The company has already created a template and wireframe for the report, but currently lacks the integration of data into this framework. The goal of this project is to enable seamless data flow from the existing database into the pre-designed report template, allowing for efficient and accurate performance analysis. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge of database management, data integration, and user interface design. The tasks involved are closely related and can be completed by a team of learners specializing in information technology or computer science. The project is designed to be completed within 120 hours, ensuring a focused and manageable workload.

Deliverables

The primary deliverable for this project is a fully functional one-click reporting system that integrates key performance metrics from the database into the existing report template. Additional deliverables include documentation detailing the data integration process, a user guide for operating the reporting system, and a presentation demonstrating the system's functionality. The project will culminate in a final report summarizing the outcomes and any recommendations for future improvements.


We would like to get this dashboard up and running so we do not need to rely on manual data analysis and reporting. We currently have 33,185 user records and 70,433 session log records (our deliverable to families). We will work with the development resources to grant access to our github repo and web application staging environment (all which lives in our AWS cloud environment) and any other internal tools/resources necessary.

The below is an initial summary but further specs are in the attached Tech Specs document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YwkO9jFknETCWLjY4sTYAIq73AH7mlg-LZIOv6W6xGI/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.dvf234tkceeu) "smartCard-inline")

One Click Reporting

Logged Sessions for user input timeframe returning names instead of IDs and removing duplicates. Very basic sample without join for names or removal of duplicates:

SELECT photographer_id, dispatcher_id, assistant_id, dra_id

FROM sessionlogs

WHERE date_sent >= '2021-01-01' AND session_date >= '2020-07-01'

Anniversaries for user-specified date that returns all volunteer names and city, state, country with registration dates for that month.

OUR MISSION
To introduce remembrance photography to parents experiencing the loss of a baby with a free gift of professional portraiture.

OUR REACH
NILMDTS has gifted more than 70,000 complimentary portrait sessions since 2005. Through our volunteer photographers, NILMDTS reaches every state in the United States and has been present in 40 countries worldwide.

The NILMDTS Medical Affiliate Program is nationally accredited and available to medical professionals throughout the world. We currently have thousands of trained providers in every US state and Canadian province as well as 14 foreign countries and military bases around the world. This accreditation underscores our commitment to providing high-quality training and resources to healthcare professionals, ensuring that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to support families during their time of need.

The ongoing support for the pregnancy and infant loss community from NILMDTS have brought together a reach of more than 1 million on social media and 40,000 NILMDTS email subscribers.

OUR WORK
NILMDTS offers the gift of healing, hope and honor to parents experiencing the death of a baby through the overwhelming power of remembrance portraits. Professional-level photographers volunteer their time to conduct an intimate portrait session, capturing the only moments parents spend with their babies. Parents are gifted with delicately retouched black and white digital portraits free of charge.

These priceless images serve as an important step in the healing recovery for bereaved families. NILMDTS remembrance photography validates the existence and presence of these precious babies by honoring their legacy.

NILMDTS recruits, trains, and mobilizes professional quality photographers around the world. Through NILMDTS, medical providers are given a meaningful option to offer bereaved parents by creating remembrance portraiture for their babies.

Through further engagement in the organization, such as our NILMDTS remembrance events and online support, families become a part of a compassionate and supportive community. Parents gain a sense of inclusiveness, alleviating the alienation and perception of being alone in their pregnancy or infant loss journey.
