Hello All, We have been looking for different approaches to mobilize Care2x. I do not mean now symbolic meaning of mobilizing people to work for Care2x, which we have been discussing last weeks. But I mean real mobile version of Care2x and in our context to smaller units.
There are several options and simplest and firs step is to strip down the present Care2x from all what is not needed and make the front end fit in small screens. In this version mobiles would be used as clients like we use now computers. I think this is quite realistice approach. When we do not use much keyboard input but mainly selection lists it should be possible in small screens and mobile browser, best with qwerty but works also without in points where hardly any typing is needed. We have been testing one clinical application with mobile phone, which is also using option lists and users seem to be happy with it. We have good hopes to get funding for this version. Another version we have discussed is Android mobile version, where the whole system is in the phone. That would need a lot more work when the software should be translated to Java and use the Android database. That would be Care2x "anywhere anytime" when no computer maintenance is needed. People in developing countries are familiar with phones, but less with computers and less training would be needed. Power failures, computer crashes and low skills have been problems in our project. This version would run also in tablets and minicomputers using Android system. OpenMRS is allready ported to Android and shows the same can be done with Care2x also. This version is further in the future. If other mobile OS is considered they would need another version and it is not easy to make version on all platforms. Bring your ideas in this new direction of development.
