case study Mobile Application Development REPROTOX® Client Backstory W hen patients look to their radiation, diagnostic procedures, Ob-Gyn for expert advice diseases, vaccines, herbs, dietary on fertility, pregnancy and supplements, etc. Developed as an lactation, they often do not realize that adjunct information source for clinicians, Ob-Gyns specialize in reproductive health, scientists and government agencies, the not reproductive medication. For advice comprehensive database covers male on medications, most physicians rely on and female fertility, pregnancy, lactation, the PDR, a collection of product labels for and neonatal development, and includes many marketed drugs using information details of clinical trials, experimental, compiled from the FDA-approved drug animal, and in vitro studies on more than label. The pregnancy section on a drug 5000 chemical agents and exposures. label is based not on the known effects of the specific drug on pregnancy or lactation, but rather is general information based Up-to-date Information Needed, Anywhere, Any time simply on which one of five “categories” of drugs the particular medication falls into. In 2010, REPROTOX® contracted with Elicere, Inc. to create a mobile version of REPROTOX® is an information system the database which would be available developed by the Reproductive Toxicology offline for doctors with limited or no Center for its members to provide concise, internet access or who just preferred up-dated, comprehensive summaries being un-tethered by a computer. Elicere of the scientific literature not just for was tasked to port the REPROTOX® prescription and non-prescription application to the Android platform for medications, but also for such things use on hand-held devices such as mobile as occupational chemicals, pesticides, phones and tablets. case study The challenge involved moving a large SQL Server database to another database and compressing that data to fit on a device that may have a limited amount of storage space available, while also reducing the amount of time taken to perform the initial database download and thus reduce any possible carrier data charges. Mobile Application Development Elicere’s Signature Design: A Few Simple Taps Elicere utilized a design philosophy of simplicity and standardization to deliver concise uncomplicated software architecture in an effective, cost-friendly manner. This approach to the application structure makes use of straight-forward and intuitive design to improve user performance and limit required navigation to a few simple taps. The REPROTOX® development platforms are Java and the Google Android SDK. The REPROTOX® database utilizes the small footprint SQLite database. The SQLite database is updated on a monthly schedule with data files generated from the main REPROTOX® SQL Server database. Authentication and data updates are achieved via a JSON web service. Because the REPROTOX® data is stored in Microsoft SQL Server. Custom Data Transformation Elicere also developed a universal utility to convert the data to SQLite format and add the necessary metadata for Android to be able to read the database. The tool is a C# desktop application that can be used for any SQL Server to SQLite data conversion (Apple IOS or Android). It enabled the conversion of the existing data into a format suitable for Android and pre-populated SQLite for the device installation. This was only used for the initial installation. All data updates are then synched via XML files. Using their member code, Reproductive Toxicology Center members who subscribe to the REPROTOX® web version are able to download the Android version from Google’s online store, Android Market, which runs on 1.5 or later. After an easy download and fast installation, the user is prompted to login to the system prior to downloading the database. The application allows subscribers to browse, view detailed data, search, email, and add individual items to their favorites for quick retrieval. The user only has to login once while their subscription is valid. Because the database and authentication certificate are stored on the device, the user can operate the application off-line if no cell phone or wireless connection is available. Now, using a hand-held mobile device and the REPROTOX® application, physicians, scientists and government agency personnel have the ability to access upto-date scientific evidence on reproductive drug safety information anywhere, anytime!
