| About The Customer |
Our customer is a specialty provider of mobile patient monitoring systems that relay medical, voice and still video data from moving platforms, such as airplanes and oil rigs, to ground based medical experts ensuring timely medical help. The equipment is designed for use even by non-medical staff.
|
| The Challenge |
The customer’s remote patient monitoring application running on client device aggregated and transmitted the patient’s vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse and heart condition, and received expert advice. The ‘same’ application ran on the server device. The customer wanted the client application ported to Windows CE 5.0 platform from Windows XP so that it executed on PDAs and Windows Mobile-based devices. Six ActiveX Controls – AppConfig.ocx , KeyControl.ocx, DisplayControl.ocx, DataManagement.ocx, RDTGauge.ocx and ValueDisplay.ocx – were also to be ported. A single code base existed for both the client and server applications, and this was to be kept largely intact. Registry settings could not be used in the client application.
|
| The Solution |
The client application was ported using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 for Smart Device to enable successful execution on PDAs and Windows Mobile-based devices. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 was chosen over Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 Service Pack 4 to retain the same code base for both client and server applications, and provide the same integrated development environment.
