I have recently been interviewed by the Americal Medical Association (AMA) on my iPhone application development. The full text interview is now available online, and has been mentioned on Twitter.

As the most urgent items on my tasklist for Surgical Neurology International have been completed, I had the opportunity to take up another hobby: iPhone development.
First, I have been working on an update for NeuroMind, my most successful iPhone app. Here is an actual screenshot of the stats for my apps. This contains the number of unique users, updates are not even counted here!
After more than 21.000 users downloading and installing the software, it’s time again for an update. I just submitted version 1.2 to the App Store, where it is now awaiting approval. It has been tested on iOS4 without any issues.
The new version contains some new scores and info on Surgical Neurology International. For details and screenshots, please visit the NeuroMind description on this site.

Second, I started reading “iPhone SDK Development” by Dudney & Adamson. For NeuroMind version 1.x I use XML to store the data. Currently I am expanding my knowledge on iPhone development, as I want to use SQLite or (probably) Core Data for a large update to version 2. A search function is currently not available in the app, and I would like to include that in the future.
Content will be more focused on scores and checklists, as those two are the categories that are used the most and valued the highest, according to the reactions I get on the software.
In the same time I am collaborating with a Canadian medical student, Jonathan Lau, who has a degree in computer science besides his medical education. He has experience in Java programming and offered to develop a NeuroMind version for the Android OS. Our current time schedule is to have both new versions available in Q4 – 2010.
