An Insight into the Technology world.
Analysis and Insight from Savvycom Team.

What is Agile? According to Merriam-Webster, agile means to have a rapid resourceful and adaptable character. In the world of Software or Infomation Technology, Agile means to develop the project in a quick period and to resolve the issues down the road of development. Every business minded person wants his software or project in the most hurry. He does not realize that even hurry takes time. Said that so, agile development is entering every field name from the company’s solutions, real estate, software development, etc. This has entered into the paradise of Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, statistics, and name what. [caption id="attachment_8991" align="aligncenter" width="508"] Source: StephenHaunts[/caption] With all that well said let's concentrate back onto our misconceptions! Misconceptions in Agile Development 1. Agile is fast &/or cheap Executing an agile development never implies that you’ll end the project or software sooner or quicker for few bucks. It’s not even a clearcut money saver in any respect. The agile simply means to produce the results to the firm sooner. You lean your head in the direction of working versions of the project rapidly. The product so developed might not fulfil all the needs, but what’s there is sufficient. After the completion of each cycle or iteration, you have to submit the demo of the software. These things force you to think over and over again about the strategies of your job load in every single iteration. Instead of producing the output in horizontal slices, let’s say that you are crafting data access layer in current session or iteration and in the next iteration you are onto the user interface, thinking in vertical phases. This means one has produced defined segments of modularity in an iteration/monotony that perhaps beset the work on the UI along with the data access layer. It is a mind alteration which is seen in teams face challenges as if they are accustomed to working horizontally, but once they are into the realization, the team’s efficiency is enhanced. 2. Ad-hoc and no Process Control Proper agility means to comply with the agile platform but moving on the footprints of the platform never implies that you are using a definitive process. The podium explains a collection of ideas. There are several mechanisms and project handling techniques which one can apply to be agile. When one dab to implement the manifesto items one commonly requires to apply common sense in an immense amount and the pragmatism to achieve the goal, but if the question is ‘Why’ instead of ‘How’ then Scrum has no match, which in turn provides the more formal processes. 3. No Planning and Documentation To be a part of agile is not some kind of excuse to get rid of devising strategy or documentation. On the other hand agile is what a customer has on-demand, or Just-In-Time, follow up which supports continuous planning and documentation, only then when required to meet particular customer requirements. This provides a wide span for both customer and teams to look out if the planning, or document, reckons a value to the action or the product. This creates a void to lay stress on accountable documents, and discard anything which is not handy. Guessing from the type of business you are into, the formal documentation can’t be kept aside. Instance -- if one is working in a heavy duty environment, then he is going to deal with a lump of documentation which might be required for evidence purpose, later down the road. Now considering the strategic side of this aspect, one still does it. Because even if you straightaway hops onto the coding section of development session, you somehow disintegrate the major problem in different scenarios for your ease. Now, what’s this; this is called planning. 4. Agile is meant for small scale industries The agile software development cycle is meant for every scale of industry, not only in IT but also in other sectors too. It’s not confined to only small projects. Size of the association is rarely a factor for things not moving on the track for some while, but with time, things do get right. If the size is the concern, then even Scrum fails in many circumstances. Let’s say you get a chance to work for a company which has 300 to 500 employees, who work and deliver pretty well structured, very narrow time constraints to regulate and comply with the work, somehow the team arrives at the decision that scrum is not helping, then what matters, size or the approach. 5. Upfront Strategy is mandatory, or else Agile is a total waste This lays down that your client is prior familiar to the details of the requirements in advance. If this holds true then without having any second thoughts form the upfront planning. But nature does not accept this fact; in fact, it’s not even a fact. However, it’s a massive waste of resources if undertaken such strategies. The agile cooperation management morally ups the minimal upfront planning, certain that each team member is working in the right direction to achieve the goal; this even deduces the risk of miscommunication. Over to You With all that said above, these were some of the misconceptions in agile development company which is totally nuisance. Agile development might not be an effective solution to all problems, but it does provide to many problems. Moreover, it’s rapid, and one can give and take opinions and reviews on the bases of short developments while developing the major one. At Savvycom, progressing the right Agile scrum software development is how we are working and focusing on to ensure that we can deliver powerful products with the best methodology, bring satisfaction to our clients. By the meantime, educating (with some online and offline course such as the R Programming course) and increasing more Agile Masters with the ability of logical thinking and dealing with the matters are also our Human development strategy.

For Node.js developers, it is an earnest expectation to improve the function of this cross-platform, run-time environment. Not only the developers, everyone will be better off if Node.js features are enhanced as we wish for: businesses will save time and budget for other project developments, customers will have a better experience with the application. 1. Node.js can connect directly to the database At present, with the current developing state of Node.js features, it takes a longer time in the data process. Using a node/express application, instead of connecting instantly, you need to make calls to the database to continue the process. Sometimes it basically takes more than one occasion, even more than one module. On the contrary, other platforms like JavaScript and Ajax allow developers to accelerate the speed of the data process by the offered capacity of the database connection. That’s the thing Node.js developers had better take note to improve their efficiency soon. Related post: Node.js  features in Web Development 2. There is nothing called “callback hell” anymore One of the most heating debates about the ineffectiveness of Node.js programming is the so-called term among developers “callback hell”. JavaScript is asynchronous by nature, therefore the cross-platform environment executing JavaScript code - Node.js, relies labouriously on callbacks. A callback is a function that runs each time one task in the queue is completed. It is not the problem here, but the consequence of this step is really annoying. After keeping a number of queued tasks along with each callback of ones, the bad result is to directly impact the quality of code. To be clear, it’s a “situation where callbacks are nested within other callbacks several levels deep, possibly making it hard to understand and maintain the code.” Yet, if you have a long-time experience with JavaScript and Node.js, you will not have a hard time to figure out how to solve this issue. Codes can be reconstructed and simplified with a few steps. But it’s still more convenient that you don’t need to think twice to simplify the codes in the beginning, right? 3. Performance bottlenecks with heavy computation can be resolved Another disadvantage of Node.js features that developer community don’t like at all is its deficiency in heavy computations. Node.js is still a single-threaded environment, which people don’t consider as the most advanced technology at present. Some drawbacks reveal like the case a CPU-bound task (number crunching, various calculations) can block the event loop, coming up with few seconds of delay for all Node.js website users. Read more: When and Why should we use Node.js technology in software development? Depending on the consequence, the negative effects following after can damage the sufficiency of the business, more explicitly in the below example, user experience. In order to avoid these not-so-good outcomes, no one seems to recommend to apply Node.js programming to computation-heavy systems. 4. Node.js Tooling can reach to its maturity soon Though the core Node.js modules are in its great stability, several tools in the npm registry (the registry of Node.js package manager) is in the state of poor quality or not precisely documented/ tested. Furthermore, the structure of the registry isn’t decent and convenient enough to suggest us the tools based on their ratings and quality. So, it seems to be not easy to find out the best solution suited to your purposes when the platform itself hasn’t been totally optimized for what we are looking for. One of the greatest features of Node.js: open-source ecosystem, also reveals its deficit. In contrast with the fact that the quality of the core Node.js technology is supervised and justified by Joyent and other major contributors, the rest of the tools í out of this necessary supervision, therefore lack the quality and high coding standards set by global organizations. 5. Node.js Real-time with Socket.IO (WebSocket protocol) First, let’s get a clear definition of Real-time with an attached example. With the assistance of WebSocket, real-time is a totally possible option to connect a client to a server. Once 2 sides have been connected, the client is able to receive the data without continuously refreshing the website. Otherwise, the server will also be able to receive data in real time from the client in the same connection. Socket.IO is one of the most well-known real-time engines for Node.js. It’s great to implement this cutting-edge technology into your Node.js applications, right? Socket.IO supports you in many tasks as the means of Node.js events: you can fire up a function when a new user connects to the server, listen for a connection event and emit a message over a socket and so on. With its great advantages and functional benefits, a myriad of companies and developers chooses Socket.IO. Besides real-time analytics and monitoring, Socket.IO is the ideal tools for Instant messaging applications, streaming, document collaboration and many more. To understand thoroughly how Node.js along with MySQL, MongoDB, Angular, PHP 7, Laravel 5 can elevate your business with the real-time application, let’s take a few seconds to know Helo Livestream Mobile Application. It is the first-ever live media streaming application that facilitates us to showcase our gifted abilities by getting noticed by our respective industries. Savvycom’s engineering team apply the ultra-low latency live streaming video using RTMP. This application helps Helo Livestreaming Mobile Application to serve 300,000 users simultaneously, all data needed to be shown in real-time across a wide geographical area. 6. Node.js features: Supporting Community will expand more in the future One sentence to sum up how great the Node.js Community is: “Not only the developers who contribute to Node.js make this platform so great, but those who create learning materials around it were also exceptional.” Here are the credential proofs to justify the below statement Amazing useful community-curated lists If you start stepping into Node.js field and want to gain useful knowledge as soon as possible, you can join Node.js Community to ask for helpful pieces of advice. There are so many articles containing practices and shortcuts that you can definitely enhance your skills by going through them. There are many other great advantages I can list out such as: Available insightful Case Studies Well-covered Node.js Authentication & Security API development with Node.js has been made even easier Awesome new tools Amazing Free Crash Courses The community can attend great conferences, like Node Interactive!

HIGHLIGHTS Ability to serve up to 300 000 cross-continent users at the same time. Ultra-low latency live streaming video using RTMP protocol. WebSocket in the real-time chat is utilised to ensure a constant conversation between streamers and followers. Helo – the solution for talents and talent seekers Helo provides the right tools for talents from every walk of life to be discovered. That is the quest that Helo has brought to us: to collaborate and create the first-ever live media streaming application that will enable people to showcase their gifted abilities by getting noticed by their respective industries. Combining our in-depth knowledge regarding mobile strategy and design with their creative solution, Savvycom is proud to introduce the Helo Livestreaming Mobile Application. No longer the days of exclusively signing contracts with mainstream celebrities to endorse their product. Now, each and every single individual can become a key opinion leader – as long as they have the skills to be loved by and the platform to do so. Sometimes, their recommendations are even more persuasive than the traditional celebrities’ ones because of their down-to-earth personalities and close connections with the ordinary crowd. This rising trend is incredibly useful for not only the businesses to develop a highly cost-effective marketing campaign and target the right audiences, but also for creators to prove their talents while earning additional income. Helo customised application consisted of: With a live streaming application that will serve 300,000 users simultaneously, all data needed to be shown in real-time across a wide geographical area. To solve the problem, Savvycom’s engineering team apply the ultra-low latency live streaming video using RTMP. This protocol ensures the stream’s size is negotiated dynamically between the client and server, thereby effectively maintains persistent and smooth connections. The instant interaction between streamers and their followers is also an absolute must for a successful streaming application. So, to make sure that Helo application can maximize its users’ engagement, Savvycom has utilized WebSocket in real-time chat to ensure a constant conversation between streamers and followers. Since the targeted audience has been identified as Asian citizens ranging from 18 to 40 years old, the UX/UI of Halo also stands as a challenge. With such a broad range of users, the interface needs to be simple, easy to use yet inclusive, dynamic and evoke creativity. Therefore, Savvycom developers have applied a 2-colour theme with a simplistic layout using basic geometric shapes. This helps creates a modern vibe for the application while lower the first-time users’ learning effort. As an addition plus side, it also ensures that the application does not take too much memory space or battery to operate like a dream. Understand the constant update and changing nature of mobile devices, Savvycom makes sure to prioritise the application’s compatibility with multiple platforms and operating systems. MySQL, MongoDB, Angular, NodeJS, PHP 7, Laravel 5 were all brought into the development of this application to ensure the highest level of adaptation, easy update, and limited error. Focus on getting emerging talents recognized in the most effective way possible.   Simple Set-up Download easily through Google Play and the Apple App Store. Singing up quickly through Facebook, Twitter or Email. That’s it. That is all it takes for the users to start broadcasting live. Gift and rewards HELO got a special incentive system for its creators. Once the user is live and got viewers, he or she can encourage the viewers to send them stars. With every 250,000 stars received, 120$ will be sent directly to the user Paypal account - a worldwide recognized online payment system. Feature Streamers Once the user starts gaining traction and engagement on their live stream, Helo’s algorithm will feature that creator’s stream in a special section so to amp up their recognition. Discover the community. Share the community. The user can either ‘add friend’ or ‘follow’ another user. While streaming, a user is just a click away from sharing their live stream across social media platforms (Facebook or Twitter) so that friends and families can follow their journey as well.

HIGHLIGHTS Enables students to receive grades and comments right on the app; enables one-on-one interaction with teachers for questions and discussion. Provides teachers with the ability to send assignments and due dates to students individually. Allows users to create an E-book in PDF format with rich media content. It’s not just a technical project, it’s a revolutionary teaching and study solution. Information Technology has fundamentally transformed the ways we can improve and enhance our lives, especially when it comes to education. This technology has already changed virtually all aspects of the educational environment, but only recently has the incorporation of mobile applications become of interest to educators and technology providers. HOYU identified the need in the marketplace for an easy-to-use tool that could facilitate real-time interaction between teachers and students, creating educational opportunities that would otherwise be impossible. As a result, with the invaluable input of multiple potential end users, Savvycom engineers have helped create PDF Editor, an interactive e-book solution with smart integration that functions as both a website and a mobile application. Creating an e-book with smoothly integrated and interactive elements like Adobe Indesign is complicated, and theoretically requires professional skills. To create a technology through which any user, regardless of skill level, could drag and drop different types of media into an e-book that could then be presented as a finished project in PDF format, we began a new technology project now known as HOYU PDF Editor. This tool allows PDF files to be converted into HTML5 and JavaScript; publishers to add images, video, audio files seamlessly. Any changes subsequently required can be downloaded quickly, as unchanged data is not rewritten which optimises transfer speeds. Being an e-book, this PDF Editor requires a large amount of storage space. The editor employs cloud-based storage and computing, establishing a virtual “store” containing an unlimited number of e-books & other learning materials. This also allows the author to create and update PDF books right on the web, meanwhile enabling teachers to interact with students through the mobile app to provide coaching and feedback. “Savvycom technical strength is wonderful. Let’s continue to better work with each other.” Shigeki Sakamoto – HOYU CEO Improve teaching and learning processes Improve Teaching & Learning Process Teachers and students can make notes, create and send comments, and handwrite notes directly on the e-books. This process forms a valuable conduit between students and teachers and allows the efficient exchange of ideas and joint responsibility for the learning process. Abundant content Instead of printing and selling traditional, publishers with the Authorising tool can produce completed books that contain images, video and audio files. This adds dynamic and interactive properties that traditional printed materials just can’t compete with. A new teaching style Teachers can give assignments to individual students and set deadlines for each one. All comments and marks can be written directly to the PDF files. Students can also receive their teachers’ marks and comments from the mobile app and can send their questions and comments back to their teacher. Providing qualified materials To protect the materials and users, we prioritise the copyright protection issue with AES algorithms to encrypt and secure book contents. Authorised users are then able to open, edit and update new versions of an e-book. [widget id="book_consultation-2"]

HIGHLIGHTS Stay connected and informed while exploring on your own. Communicate using the wearable tracker to stay in touch with your group. Define your personal “virtual fence” with the space hedge app. It’s not just a GPS tool, REALM connects people. "Savvycom designed a GPS tool which enables users to define and configure group’s location boundaries and tracks their movements.” There ’s a lot of hype around the “Internet of Things” (IoT), and with good reason. The IoT is the networking of devices, buildings, even vehicles that use embedded hardware and dedicated software to collect and exchange data. It’s “next level” networking using cloud technology, and it opens the door to new ideas and applications that have begun to flood the marketplace. With plenty of IoT solutions, data storage and analytics tools out there, how can we identify voids in the marketplace and fulfill these demands with unique products? The engineers at Realm team identified a specific opportunity in the marketplace for a bespoke worldwide navigation aid, and after identifying the core issues around such technology and developing appropriate solutions, the idea of Realm - GPS Smart Tracker was born. Realm - GPS Smart Tracker was developed to allow its users to maintain contact and communicate with each other individually or as a group, in real time. And Realm-GPS Smart Tracker incorporates multiple, complex integrated functions to allow users to connect with and send notifications to other group members simultaneously while verifying the location of team members on a virtual map using GPS technology. On this IoT solution for enterprises developed by Savvycom, Realm- GPS Smart Tracker is integrated with Google Maps, SDK, QRCode, NodeJS, Javascript SDK and other technologies to instantly verify users’ locations and help team leaders easily manage the group’s activities, including the ability to send push notifications whenever desired. To prevent any team member from getting lost, Savvycom also created a pre-programmed “SOS” message that group members can send to the team leader when in need. What ’s more? Realm creates a virtual fence, which immediately alerts the group leader if any member steps outside of the boundary. If group members inadvertently find themselves outside this boundary, they can log in as a group member, activate a tracking code, and communicate with leaders to go from lost to found! Control group members’ location From the website, register each group member with a unique tracking code and easily manage the group and its individual members, including the ability to track individual members’ positions, monitor their status and send notifications to the whole group or to individual members as needed. Using the mobile app, the team leader can manage all team members’ locations as needed and make changes to the virtual fence on the go, allowing the group to set up new boundaries and associated functionality right from his or her mobile phone. This gives users the ability to establish new perimeters and group management strategies from one location to another. Designed for mobility - all functions are at hand Immediately send SOS Message Finally, and most importantly, registered team members can send an SOS message if they get lost, lose touch with the group, or find themselves in an emergency situation, which allows the team leader and all other users registered to the group to coordinate support as necessary.

Admittedly, the world is rapidly transforming into the Digitalization Era, also known as "true digital natives" and the uses of digital content are significantly rising. Thus, the application of Digital Marketing is becoming more and more important for any business to reach target customers. The year 2012 marked a significant increase in social networking sites such as Facebook (reach 1 billion users), Pinterest... Meanwhile, 2012 witnessed the decline of many newspapers in the World; take an example The New York Times, Financial Times Deutschland, Newsweek. Perhaps, when digital tools are widely used as a part of life, the value of Digital Marketing will be more vital in any business marketing campaign. Why choose Digital Marketing? According to recent research, many organizations have confirmed that Digital Marketing has a great influence on the industry, or even it has changed the face of the global retail industry. A study carried out in the last 2 months by IAB – American Interactive Advertising Bureau shows that Digital Marketing, in particular, social media network will affect strongly on the purchasing decision of consumers. It also helps the company adjusting Return on Investment (ROI) by encouraging engagement and loyalty of customers. Kristin Brewe, director of Communications and Marketing of IBA, also stated: "when an Enterprise or a brand needs to create a deeper emotional connection with customers, social networking is the answer. Indeed, because social networking is the only channel that allows consumers and brands interact and engage instantaneously in 2 ways, making this linkage stronger. At the same time, Mr Ian Ralph, director of the Marketing Science, who conducted the study said: "Clearly, social networks have the potential to turn customers into fans". He also asserts: "By making people love, not just interested in the brand, we affect demands for goods and contribute to increasing sales in the future". A recent study by Exact Target also shows that the digital media revolution has effects on the purchasing decisions of the global retail industry with over 90% of consumers believe the online comments of the product and at least 18% of customers affected by an ad online within the past 12 months. So, Digital is no longer an industry. It is basic knowledge for all those who are doing business, marketing and advertising in a digital world that has been a part of life. Another reason why the role Digital Marketing in our life is becoming more and more important is the explosion of “Big Data” - a collection of large and complex data sets, which help companies to accurately control customer’s behaviours and increase profits. Besides that, the quick and proper measurement of Digital Marketing tools as well as the development of electronic commerce also takes part in there. In short, the advent and rapid development of the elements in social networking platforms are changing the face of Digital Marketing industry today. Thus, enterprise developers may take these advantages to easily deliver both product's values and the company’s image to their target customers.

In order to improve the ability to share and connect, social networks have become an important tool user can use to show off their personality. They can publish their hobbies, update photos, status, and discuss with friends on social networks. Nowadays, the popular features (e.g. camera, GPS) allow non-technical users to create simple or even complex content. Social networking everywhere you go The community will soon realize that mobile devices are not only the tools for creating content, for example, recording and editing photographs or videos, but also the tools for social networking, people can connect instantaneously and under the “now-time”. Sharing photos and status in a few hours after an event will be out of date. We will get used to sharing immediately at our now-time. Read more: Things you should know about Facebook App Center Friends’ status, relationship, photos, jobs, locations are updated in second pull us closer regardless of distance, language, or race. Coming beyond the criticism for making people lazy and created distance between human, social networks – with connecting and sharing – still, reinforce our existing connections and create new ones. Free video call applications like Face Time and Skype are good examples. Social network is promised to expand even more when the mobile devices are getting more and more powerful. And hopefully, it will have beneficial effects not only in personal daily life but also in the enterprise sector.

Using the same settings, the same platform as Siri, nevertheless reading speed and responding ability of Google Search are slightly better than Apple’s similar app. With the recent update of Google Search on iOS, Google has provided users with a new feature - Voice Search for Apple devices. This makes Google Search become one of the strongest competitor of Siri – the well-known search engine as well as intelligent communicating app at the moment. However, Google – a permanent opponent of Apple, takes everyone aback by showing how fast and smoothly its app can run though Google Search doesn’t have home advantage on iOS platform. According to Gizmodo, a test between 2 products on iPhone is conducted and the result shows that the searching speed and responds from Google product are faster and more correctly. Furthermore, Google Search doesn’t require any “click” to view search results. About the accuracy in analyzing sound, both 2 apps perform equally high quality. However, a drawback of Google Search is that it doesn’t allow users to access to personal data on iPhone devices; therefore, users can’t use voice command to send messages and search contacts like Siri acts. Hopefully there’ll be some new improvements for the next version of Google Voice Search in near future. To sum up, based on the review of users, Google Search is still highly recommended for its splendid performance as a guest on iOS platform.

As the rapid adoption of tablets and smartphones in the market, it’s the fact that users currently seem to prefer reading the news on the mobile web rather than in apps or accessing traditional websites. From there, a new concept so-called “Responsive Design” is created and becoming a hot trend for any Web developer at the moment. It is considered as a revolution of thinking about how to develop websites to meet the needs of a traditional desktop or laptop users as well as the mobile and tablet's audience. But, why is Responsive Design becoming so popular recently? Why the enterprise should consider updating the site to utilize Responsive Design? Here are 4 main reasons to explain this “phenomenon”: 1. Cost-savings It is the fact that the costs to apply a responsive design for the website is higher than making a conventional website, but the expenses to duplicate a website for mobile and other devices can be completely eliminated. Additionally, it enables your site to fit perfectly in any screen size. One design on the website is the same to all devices. This means that your website only has to be developed once, and the company could cut down total development costs significantly. 2. Time-savings You will have the ability to control, design and build your site in only one project. It helps you saving time, fewer meetings, fewer approvals to do the processes all over again when a new device launched on the market. 3. Enhancing competition Utilizing responsive design and redesigning your website to fit optimally in all devices, you will definitely take considerable advantages to compete with other rivals. Visitors will be more surprised and get a better experience on your site than on your competitors. 4. User experience This enables visitors to be easier to consume contents on the website through any device of their choice and preference, anytime. Thus, responsive design provides the optimal user experience of whether they use a desktop computer, a smartphone or a tablet. To sum up, for publishers or web developers, responsive design offers the simplest way to reach readers across multiple devices. For users, it ensures an interesting experience on every screen. Therefore, responsive web design would be a good choice that leads your company forward.

Part 2: Web app >> Part 1: Native app pros and cons Part 1 of this article gave us a panorama of native app and its attributes. Part 2 will analyze mobile web app based on the same aspects so that we can easily compare the two to see which one could provide a better solution for businesses. How does a mobile web app work? Mobile web app utilizes web and web browser technologies to fulfil tasks over a network. Several examples of web apps can be listed: m.facebook.com, mobile.twitter.com, etc. In what aspects do web apps surpass native apps? Unlike native apps that lack cross-platform, web apps are convenient for both users and developers: They do not require installation and they can function well on different mobile browsers that support HTML and Javascript. Programmers are at ease when working with web apps since the programming languages to be in use are the popular HTML and Javascript. While the development of different versions of native apps needs manifold resources, things seem quite easier and less costly for web apps in both developing and updating progress. Furthermore, App Stores restriction has nothing to do with the distribution of web apps; there is no need to wait for approval from those App Stores when applications can come directly to end users. Read more: top in-demand programming languages Native apps or web apps? (Image by http://www.thinslices.com/) What are the drawbacks? Web apps can be more adaptable than native apps to some extents, yet they fail to deliver the same degree of quality and performance that native apps exclusively can. Web apps are also incapable of accessing device hardware features the way native apps do. The biggest drawback web apps have not been able to overcome is that they are of no use without an internet connection, and their performance depends a lot on network connectivity, speed and bandwidth. >> Part 3: The solution and a new approach

Mobile application has recently been a profitable business area for a number of software groups and companies in the last 5 years. Simultaneously, mobile development companies have recently witnessed a movement with an upsurge of healthcare apps. This is partly generated from the ever-increasing consciousness of human beings in general and mobile users in particular. Apps for the public and professionals Thousands of healthcare applications have been built for both public and healthcare professionals. As for patients and public, health apps play the roles of a health assistant with calories counting, food intake control, alerts on heart attack failure... Apps for professionals serve to track, monitor and share complicated health information or drug interactions, medical calculator. Even via mobile apps, patients and doctors can look at X-rays, CT scans and MRIs together or book appointments directly without waiting for GP. The birth and spread of health care apps bring a vast number of benefits. First and foremost, mobile apps provide patients with credible personal tools to handle their own health and related activities. Via mobile apps, patients can easily access to health care service such as appointment arrangement, at-home service. Moreover, the use of mobile apps enhances patients’ engagement with reminder function, for example. The application of mobile apps as healthcare products Apps for medical training and professional development Especially, mobile apps can be utilized to support medical training and professional development with ubiquity, easy access and convenient updating process. Thanks to the technology which already exists, applications for cell phones can be established without developing a bespoke operating system or manufacture new hardware, giving conditions to faster and cheaper development and innovation. The innovation creates interactive learning with sound, video, voice recorder, 3G and so on. Six health-concerned areas reported to be improved significantly by mobile apps are long-term disease management, primary diagnosis, emergency response systems, health and wellness information, mobile-enhanced RFID-based tracking of drugs and public health research. In 2013, mobile apps focusing on health care are predicted to be a new trend in the circle of mobile applications.

[caption id="attachment_2220" align="aligncenter" width="616"] Wearable Devices have created enormous impacts on the development of Healthcare & Wellness[/caption] Wearables, although still a young industry, have created an enormous impact on the development of technology (especially mobile application development) in recent years. In several upcoming decades, it is expected that we will see even greater leaps in kind of tech, as well as a much more essential role that the devices will play in augmenting one’s life, especially on the aspect of healthcare and wellness. However, in order to become real, such a scenario still depends on many conditions. Due to the proximity to one’s body once used, this stuff, equipped with sensors, is perfect for monitoring your physical characteristics and statistics, from breath rate to blood pressure, from the distances you’ve taken in a run to the calories you’ve eaten in a meal. And that is the reason why medicine and healthcare are among the areas that are associated with the use of wearables by the closest. [DON'T MISS] 8 Innovative Ideas for Your Healthcare App [2019 and Beyond] An idea of medical engineers coming up in 2003 might be a more typical example: A wearable that is capable of supervising health and wellness of a person and sending biofeedback to a hub station in real time. The Statistics [caption id="attachment_2221" align="aligncenter" width="593"] People cannot ignore the help from wearable devices in Healthcare[/caption] The prospects of wearable tech seem promising: with 96 million devices shipped in 2012, and this will rise to 210 million devices in 2018. People tend to think that the help from wearable devices may result in 10 more years of lifespan, especially on obesity treatment (through monitoring nutrition and exercise). Read more: Healthcare Data Analytics Well, if you are thinking everything is in pink, you are probably wrong. Although some hospitals in the US, UK and Western Europe have introduced and promoted the utilization of wearable tech as an effective method of gaining insights about patients’ conditions, many others are still lagging behind (especially in the UK). The Market is Colossal If We Know the Right Route Above all, the prosperity of the wearable industry in the future will depend heavily on which customer segment it will target. Unfortunately, wearable producers are still concentrating on satisfying the minorities of tech aficionados and athletes, instead of those who need the things by the most – babies, elders and, especially, chronic disease sufferers. The long-term commitment could only be found among people with chronic health problems, who were reasonably serious in using the devices for checking their condition, not those who just considered them showy toys. The potential of this sector is definitely colossal. It is estimated by HIS that there will be 5 million patients around the world using wearable and remote monitoring devices by 2017. Since the clinics and patients will be connected without any facial contact, the widespread of wearable tech will revolutionise the way they will conduct healthcare and wellness services. Another research conducted by HRI in 2014 has shown a clear majority of doctors and customs believing in four advantages that wearables and their apps can bring: 1. Put diagnostic testing of basic conditions into the hands of patients 2. Increase patient-clinician interaction 3. Promote self-management of chronic disease using health apps 4 Help caregivers work more as a team. The Benefit Isn’t Just Limited to Those [caption id="attachment_2222" align="aligncenter" width="490"] Wearables tech is Increasing patient-clinician interaction[/caption] The application of wearable tech will also greatly relieve the gigantic financial burden laid on the healthcare system and its customers. McKinsey has forecasted that wearables will make the cost of treating chronic diseases dip by 10-20%, saving $2 trillion for the world by 2025. Read more: Why Healthcare needs Big Data Of course, in common sense, any investor would find this lucrative. Sean McLeod, president of the healthcare tech developer Stratos, has even mentioned “a brand new industry”. But to make the wearable tech become flourishing in this segment, again, we have to talk about many obstacles that should be overcome – security, privacy, consumer consent, data-sharing, fragmented workflows and digital buy-in. A few suggestions: Generating actionable insights through analytics to yield better outcomes Using increasing amounts of data to rethink the workforce and workflows Targeting digital interventions for where they make the most sense.
