Hi all I'm working on a project for a client at the moment about producing an evidence based framework for mobile apps (focus iOS / Android) that have a health promotion feature (e.g. quit smoking apps).
One of the areas we've identified as a potential issue from a dev perspective is the risk of offshore development compared to onshore (AU) - mostly due to the regulatory requirements of apps containing health data here in AU (transborder data flow is discouraged - health privacy principle) and whether OS devs (I'm mostly talking here about the low-cost-outsourced kind of devs, your $10ph oDeskers of the dev world) may produce a risk that the "data security" of the app may be compromised by a dodgy job. But then obviously offshore dev has advantages too -- generally lower cost and/or able to use specialists. Has anyone here had experiences like that? Or ideally a reference we can use discussing the issue (blog post is fine)? Cheers Hugh -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
