Next Steps
• Open issues
– Connectivity between iPhone device and sensor – SDK does not
provides API’s to transfer data using USB or Bluetooth.
– Hardware resources were not available. PCB design could not be built
and tested.
• Next phase
– Using iPhone on the phone database SQLite.
– AddressBook framework for CRUD, doctor and patient contacts.
– Data transfer between sensor and iPhone to be tested in subsequent
SDK release.
