Development of a Flutter module for ATHLETin

Abstract

ATHLETin is a mobile and web app aiming to help the management of athletes in order to prevent injuries. The idea of such app emerged from Julien PAULUS, who believes that injuries could be avoided with better solutions to oversee athletes. This solution implies more communication between the athletes, the coaches and the medical specialists. In practice, ATHLETin is divided into several modules that will handle specific parts of the solution such as a calendar module to ease the planning and a training module to manage training session properly. In this thesis, the administrator module will be implemented. Its role is to provide to authorized members an overview of the different data stores such as the list of athletes or their answers to specific questionnaires. To do so, a Flutter web-app will be implemented. With the implementation of such module, challenges will appear, the main ones being the performance of the module, its flexibility and its integration to the existing architecture of the whole ATHLETin project. To address these, several techniques were used such as the following of architectural pattern, the pagination of the data or minimization the server requests. Moreover, the use of the Flutter technologies allow to have an optimized app by minimizing the screen refreshment using state management tools such as Provider. Eventually, the designed app will be deployed using a Docker container. As this work only constitute a subpart of the global ATHLETin project developed by professor Laurent MATHY and his team, the module might be subject to further modification and improvements. This thesis will thus also play the role of documentation for the future developers working on ATHLETin modules
