Hi, and thanks to everyone that has replied. I agree that the best way would be to create a GUI on the iPhone/iPad and let the actual data be managed on a server somewhere, thus one should not need to do so much core work in Objective C.
Personally I would like to create a native GUI and not something that is run in a browser since the interesting thing is really to investigate the opportunities a native interface on a device such as the iPhone/iPad could provide. Then the question becomes what are the existing solutions one could use for such a scenario? (some suggestions have been given) I do have a reasonable knowledge of Objective C and the relevant frameworks since more than 10 years ( of course the iPhone specific parts are not that old, but conceptually it's the same as Cocoa (Mac OS X) development. regards Olof 24 sep 2010 kl. 12.11 skrev Athanasios Anastasiou: > 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.
