– IP -> Dr. Murphy will talk to Prof Kruchten about it.

– This is going to be a free app.

– Most of the physician use Iphone

– seems like we are leaning towards developing the app on the web first.  Later we will make the connection between android to the web app.

– This app will run on chrome/ firefox, but not likely internet explorer.

– the hospital is using internet explorer 6 currently

– The android app will serve as a wrapper for our web app.

– we need a local server.  Dr. Murphy said that he can probably set up a server in the radiology department no problem.

– We may have skype/uber-conference meeting with Dr.Murphy later instead of face to face, details still need to be worked out.

Three things that he emphasized

1. security

2. user interface

– SIMPLE, SIMPLE, SIMPLE

– should be appealing

3. functionality

– text

– images sending

– video sending

– voice messaging ( one of the more important/nice feature to have)

– login

 -Dr. Murphy suggested a character recognition feature for camera.  Basically we take a picture of the patient’s medical sticker and the app will bring out the patient’s info and display in some generic format

Questions

– one server per hospital or one central server?

– how do we get people to sign up for the app?

– how do people verify who they are?  physician number maybe??

– will we consider opening this app people beyond just Doctors?  like nurses, administrative people?

– what are the regulations regarding to privacy?  Dr. Murphy said we should look into Health Canada/HSSBC, and probably send them an email.

TO DO:

– Dr has a few useful links that he will share with us sometime later.

– Dr. wants to see our blog

– Dr wants to be added to asana

– Research about similar apps : QLIQ soft, tiger text

– work out a clear list of what functions our app will have at the initial stage, send it to Dr. Murphy

– send a copy of Project proposal to Dr. Murphy

– something about dropbox??
