Electronic Health Records on the iPad (AMA)
Our studio was commissioned to build an iPad app for the Ottawa Hospital that gives doctors and nurses full access to electronic medical records (EMR). An iPhone version has been commissioned as well.
We're a pretty small team of only five mobile developers and are all recent university grads. We were up against giants in the space like IBM and Telus Health. This was also our first foray into healthcare.
We wanted to share. Feel free to AMA.

- J3L2404 16y agoI assume Canada has patient privacy laws similar to HIPAA in the states. How have you dealt with privacy issues?
