Minor update iNeuroMind app development
After the discussion in this blog post I decided to follow your advise and keep the summary-section in the old format. For a technical reason I used the other approach in the Background information part: there is an issue with the width of the screen, I am not able to use it completely. In the current approach it is not too disturbing. For me, it’s fine for now.
The main change is that the Background part does not contain HTML anymore (I used to display it in a UIWebView) but it is just a table with plain text now. The reason is only related to speed of data entry: this is much faster! I expected some advantage of the UIWebView approach when I chose it, but it made things rather complicated. Not anymore! ;-)

As you can see in the image, I added a category checklists, on which I will come back later. I think it might be the most important category in the app. There’s even a chance that it might be the only category in the final app (with the rest as some form of subcategory).
As I re-entered clinical practice now, I am discovering some issues in which I want to have help. If I can build it into the iPhone, I will do it if it improves the quality of my patient care. So stay tuned, I expect more to follow during the next 1-2 months on this.
I checked out the other blog post too and saw the other design, I do concur that this design is nicer, easier on the eyes as it as the extra space at the side to make viewing a little less tiring. Hope you can get the new functions bulit into your iPhone! My sister’s doing medical now too and things are going tech here too. Much easier to keep track of patient’s routine and check-list (tick offs) while doing rounds. Great post :)
