Pocket CPR for the iPhone

CPR Training application for your iPhone.

Description

Problem

This is not the first time that Bay Computer and Bio-detek collaborated on a product. This time BCA was asked to take the algorithm from Bio-detek's Pocket-CPR product and using the accelerometers embedded in the iPhone, create an iPhone applciation that would help train individuals in the use of CPR.

Solution

iPhone development is not the same as the embedded 'C' code that the original project was developed in. We first had to port the code to Objective C, the iPhone development language. Then we worked with our client to develop a graphical interface for this product. The original product only had LEDs and sound. This iPhone app had all the bells and whistles available on the iPhone. In the end the product is being sold on the iTune store. It sold 17,000 copies in the first week of distribution.
