Mobile technologies can constitute a revolution in the healthcare sector

The adoption of mobile solutions improves the relationship with patients and brings relevant cost savings in day by day medical and nurse staff activities.
Mobile technologies can improve many different healthcare activities.

Mobile solutions for medical staff and patients

Entire patient courses, from preliminary examination to post-treatments, can be monitored and communicated to patients with very simple and easy services based on SMS.

Hospitals and medical centres can confirm visit reservations to patients and notify them that exam results are ready to be picked up. Mobile channels can be also used to monitor their health status, sending short questionnaire and collecting all the answers with no need to go to the medical surgery.

Mobile intervention units operating in emergency medicine can be supported through the remote transfer of medical data using mobile communication networks in order to ensure early diagnosis in cases of major trauma.

Localization information helps to manage the position and the operational status of each intervention unit: each emergency request is monitored as the unit notifies the intervention steps.

Specialized personnel can check physiologic and vital parameters of remote patients through their wireless enabled PDAs and record each visit and drug administration into the electronic clinical folder.

The adoption of mobile solutions improves the relationship with patients and brings relevant cost savings in day by day medical and nurse staff activities.

Reply and Kimia announce the Alembik project at the Mobile World Congress 2008

Reply and Kimia are proud to announce the Alembik project. Alembik is an OMA STI compliant media transcoding server based on Java (J2EE) technology. Alembik is the evolution of GAIA Image Transcoder, the component of GAIA Reply™ that implements and offers image adaptation functionalities.

GAIA Web Information System

Reply is proud to announce the release of the final version of GaWis (GAIA Web Information System). GaWis is an information system, based on database technologies, that allows merging data from heterogeneous standard sources (such as UAProfs or WURFL files) and also from users' inputs. GaWis features let you create, manage and use a customizable information source that maintains device capabilities.

GAIA Mobile|Living|Framework consists of five main functionalities:

• Heterogeneous Data Source Integration – the framework is able to interface heterogeneous data sources to retrieve the requested information and content;

• Protocol Management – the framework includes a variety of connectors that implement both synchronous protocols as WAP and HTTP and asynchronous protocols as SMPP, 3GPP MMx, SMTP and others;

• Device Detection – the framework recognises the terminal that requests access to the content or services and picks up its characteristics from the device database;

• Device Management – the framework maintains a database, periodically updated, with a set of extendible attributes that describe the characteristics of the devices;

• Content Selection, Adaptation and Protection – the framework selects and adapts the content according to the characteristics of the terminal that initiated the request. Further, the framework allows to protect content through the use of DRM functionalities.
