It's a very cool set up. It's WindowsXP. Full internet access, too.

Macromedia in Medicine? was RE: OT .Net? Java? No Thanks, We'll Take Macromedia Instead

2003-09-19 Thread Mike Brunt
I wonder how much usage of ColdFusion-Flash there is in Medical Imaging or
in Medicine?  In our last medical project we were using CF to front end SQL
Server databases to allow Radiologists to view and distribute patient files
so that Primary Care Physicians could review these with their patients in a
browser.  The back-end to all this were large SAN and WAN infrastructures
where Radiologists could do full interpretations of X-Ray, CT, MRI, Nuclear
Medicine and other patient images.  That was 4-5 years ago.  With the
current state of ColdFusion and Flash the opportunities for MM in medicine
are much greater. It is a huge market and still very fragmented, as one
doctor once said to me There is no Microsoft of Medical Software!

Well, your subject is misleading because the reality is that the only 
technology they didn't use was .NET. They *did* use Java as the back end 
server technology (JRun). For interfaces, there's really not much of a 
dispute that Flash is the best solution for a rich interface in the web 
browser.

However, I wonder how this changes if Eolas wins their lawsuit!! ;) (NOTE: 
Please don't re-open this topic as this is intended to be sarcastic).

As a quick aside, I don't know if I see their product as being overly 
successful in hospitals. It seems that their product is dependent on running 
in a browser. Most doctors (my brother and father being two of them) carry 
around PDAs with their patient info, not cumbersome laptops. Unless the UI 
was designed with PDAs and other handheld devices in mind (the article 
doesn't mention that), it's a nice-sounding product, but not terribly usable 
in the real world.

Because Flash can work just fine with .Net and Java and they're not mutually
exclusive. One is for interface and the others are back end, but that's not
presented at all in the article. The author does mention that they
considered ActiveX for the interface, but that's ActiveX not .Net or Java
either. I can't even tell from the article what the company chose for their
back end, but if I were an exec I would assume it was Flash.

Instead of writing an article that points out that developers could leverage
the best of both worlds, the .Net or Java architecture they're already
familiar with and the advanced UI capabilities of Flash, he makes it out to
be a battle royale in which there can be only one.

Because Flash can work just fine with .Net and Java and they're not

considered ActiveX for the interface, but that's ActiveX not .Net or Java
either. I can't even tell from the article what the company chose for their
back end, but if I were an exec I would assume it was Flash.

The article actually explicitly says they used JRun as their back end.

Blue Iris uses Macromedia's Java-based application server, JRun, to connect 
the client to back end databases. While other application servers could be 
used, JRun is the best option. It probably wouldn't be worth (using another 
server) for the amount of effort you'd have to put in, Nelson said. Those 
other products don't offer anything more than we currently get from JRun.

Instead of writing an article that points out that developers could 
leverage
the best of both worlds, the .Net or Java architecture they're already
familiar with and the advanced UI capabilities of Flash, he makes it out to
be a battle royale in which there can be only one.

I didn't get that impression at all. He explicitly said they used JRun (see 
above snippet), so they do, in fact, leverage existing technology. As for 
why they didn't use .NET, the author said that they did not want to be tied 
to Internet Explorer, which I think is reasonable.

Dave.

designed to be held and used like a clipboard, or an 8x10 PDA.  The entire
office is digital. No paper charts or records of any kind (except archives).
It's a very cool set up. It's WindowsXP. Full internet access, too.

If medical staff wanted an application they could access from any modern
computer, then Flash would make a good deal of sense.

 As a quick aside, I don't know if I see their product as being overly
 successful in hospitals. It seems that their product is dependent on
 running
 in a browser. Most doctors (my brother and father being two of them) carry

 around PDAs with their patient info, not cumbersome laptops. Unless the UI

 was designed with PDAs and other handheld devices in mind (the article
 doesn't mention that), it's a nice-sounding product, but not terribly
 usable
 in the real world.
