Nice news article on the Crimson tide healthcare applications

Mobile News - April 2010

Data solutions provider Crimson Tide has won a four-year contract worth up to €100,000 a year from Dublin company Temperature Control Pharmaceuticals (TCP) to develop software enabling Europe's first barcode safety system for blood disorder suffers to treat themselves in their own homes. The system runs on a range of
Windows smartphones supplied to the patients. The system verifies the product
identification before self treatment is carried out. It can be used to alert patients to product recalls. Where there is more than one haemophilia patient in a household on different treatments, it ensures the right patient is treated with the correct medication. Crimson Tide executive chairman Barrie Whipp said: "This is our largest subscription deal to date. Our application is relevant to in-home patient drug administration worldwide, therefore we are anticipating extending our sales of this type of product in other markets."

Crimson Tide has also developed a mobile system to guarantee the security and confidentiality of a 10-year Irish Government study into the needs of older people.
The study examine 8,000 people aged 50 and over living in Ireland. It charts their health, social and economic circumstances over a 10-year period. The mobile system uses a Motorola MC55 phone into which people from the sample group can input information over a long period of time.
