What needs to be considered is, for each particular app, what data are being captured and displayed? Usually it is not 'everything' - it will be a very narrow data set in each case. For each such data set, one or more openEHR ADL 1.5 templates could be created and converted to XSD and/or programming objects (dedicated classes for the particular template). These would greatly enable the construction of such apps and also the communication of the data back to a server. An app framework is needed form which any specific app created according to this programming model can be built. I don't know that the language (Objective C, Java etc) is that important; the above can be done in any 'normal' modern language.
Some examples of ADL 1.5 templates are available - see the ADL Workbench beta, http://www.openehr.org/svn/ref_impl_eiffel/TRUNK/apps/adl_workbench/doc/web/index.html (see particularly the example archetypes at http://www.openehr.org/svn/knowledge2/TRUNK/archetypes/ you can use with this tool). In the next few weeks, the XML OPT generation feature will appear in this tool. This is the basis for generation XSDs, programming objects, message schemas and so on. - thomas beale On 24/09/2010 11:11, Athanasios Anastasiou wrote: > 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.
