Rapid iOS Capability Integration with Shortcuts App

Since I am not an iOS Developer, I played around with the iOS Shortcuts app (Organic Apple Application).

Shortcuts allows you to create a declarative script on the iPhone, and quickly integrate various iOS capabilities (APIs) together to execute involved workflows:

  • Voice to Text (Speech Recognition) data entry
  • Touch Data Entry (selections from lists)
  • GPS Location,
  • QR-Code generation,
  • Web Service integration, Posting Test-Subject record into the back-end system

Take a look at the attached PDF for a quick look into a sample Shortcut workflow.

Data posted from the iOS Shortcuts app can trigger real-time data refinery on the cloud-based Data-Lake, and support various data analytics use cases.

Trying to understand if there are preconditions met by other software. (In general) 1. How to collect AOEs, from ordering provider/patient/specimen collector 2. Integrate into app/LIS or other information source for patient to be married to results of IVD test device/system 3. All transmitted to public health (ELR) 4. All transmitted to HHS (may be met by 3).

Will your approach support all 4 or only portions of above for "tracking lab results"? Where do you anticipate your approach fitting into the laboratory testing workflow?
