Hello Olof and everyone

I think that the iPad / iPhone devices could be of some assistance as 
far as the interface to an openEHR enabled application is concerned.

It could perhaps enable a more tactile manipulation of the entities 
contained in the health record...(tactile and efficient, i wish, i.e not 
a gimmick)

But the actual modification of EHR content and interaction with the 
server does not need to occur on the device itself, this would certainly 
complicate things a lot.

I vaguely remember Erik Sundvall talking about a REST approach to 
handling openEHR content. In this case, all the iPad / iPhone / 
iWhatever device would need to do is POST (or GET) data from specific 
URLs just like many other web applications do now.

But until we hear any more news from that front, i suppose that you will 
have to rely on a web application based on either the java reference 
implementation or OSHIP. In this case, you could work a little bit with 
the presentation layer through CSS (and the fact that the page is 
accessed by a mobile device) to perhaps adjust it to the iPad / iPhone 
screen size or other property.

I hope this helps.

All the best
Athanasios Anastasiou
