IoT in Action: Building a Modern Healthcare Application - Webinar resources and links

On Wednesday, May 20, 2015 I presented a webinar titled "IoT in Action: Building a Modern Healthcare Application". The webinar presents the development of connected, multi-device solutions for the healthcare industry, using Beacons and Bluetooth LE devices. During this session, David Intersimone, Vice President of Developer Relations and Chief Evangelist at Embarcadero, demonstrates how developers can use RAD Studio XE8, which supports Proximity Beacons and Enterprise Mobility Services Push Notifications, to build a modern medical application solution for a hospital or doctor’s office.

IoT in Action: Building a Modern Medical Application for a Hospital or Doctor’s Office

Digital devices are proliferating inside medical offices and hospitals, and Bluetooth wearables are being used to capture biometric information. These devices, which are part of the IoT landscape, are providing higher levels of patient monitoring, medical office productivity, and patient information management. Recognizing the potential of these connected devices to transform the everyday experience of visiting a healthcare provider, this webinar will give developers a first hand look into:

• RAD Studio connected app development for Windows, OS X, iOS, Android and the Internet of Things
• FireUI and VCL application development for desktop, smartphone, and tablet devices
• Proximity-based application development using the new TBeacon component supporting the use of iBeacon and AltBeacon
• Bluetooth LE development for state-of-the-art medical devices including Heart Rate Monitors, Digital Weight Scales, and more
• Enterprise Mobility Services (EMS) support for Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) and Google Cloud Messaging (GCM)
