Hi, everyone, I am excited to share this with all of you. We started another academy program for Firefox OS weeks ago. The plan is to implement a general operating system for medical usages.
With the aging population worldwide, there has been a rapid increase in dependent patients who are either bed or house bound. Although there are lots of medical mobile apps on the shelf to provide personal medical information, analysis, or even some simple monitoring functionalities, these applications are used on current complicated operating systems that most aging patients may have difficulties to use. The target audience for this project focuses on the patients / users who would like to have a centralized place for all medical apps, and who are not familiar with existed complicated mobile operating systems. An operating system with simple and friendly user interface to these target audience is expected. We will also try to optimize Firefox OS to be able to retrieve monitoring data from 3rd party medical devices or other related IOT devices constantly. We are planning to modify existed system app to match the expectation. The project is in the beginning stage now. We are working with graduated school of computer science department in National Central University in Taiwan, some doctors in Taiwan and also a doctor, Dr. Tan Jit-Seng, in Singapore in this project. Dr. Tan was a doctor in Singapore, and now leading a company to provide personal elder health care services. His company was published on the front page of local newspaper, because he always try to integrate new technologies into medical industry and provide personal elder-care. He is also working with Microsoft and MIT in different projects. I will keep updating the project Wiki here, https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox_OS/MedicalPlatformProject For more information, please visit the page above. Please let me know if you are interested in this project. Suggestions and / or comments are always welcome. Thank you. Cheers, Kevin Hu
