-This small app uses open statistic data in order compare hospitals in Switzerland.
+This app uses open data in order to compare hospital statistics in Switzerland.
-In 2008/2009 a study was done to compare approximately 200 hospitals across the country using a range of quality indicators, such as waiting time in emergency rooms, and the types of cases handled. This data is freely available, and there is a Web app which can be used to run queries against the data, comparing one or more hospital/s to each other based on a selection of criteria.
+Over the past five years studies were done to compare approximately 300 hospitals and maternity wards across the country using a range of quality indicators, such as waiting time in emergency rooms, and the types of cases handled. This data is freely available, and there is already an official [[http://www.bag.admin.ch/hospital/index.html|Web application]] which can be used to run queries against the data, comparing one or more hospital/s to each other based on a selection of criteria.
-In this project, we started developing a mobile app which presents a user-friendly view into this data, and has the potential of visualizing the information in innovative ways. Also see [[project:health_data_visualization|Heath Data Visualization]] for web-based maps of this data.
+In this hackathon project, we started developing a mobile app which presents a more basic view into this data, with the potential of visualizing the information in innovative ways. Also see [[project:health_data_visualization|Heath Data Visualization]] for web-based maps of the same data.
-In late 2012, the project was continued as part of an internship at [[http://appswithlove.com|Apps with love GmbH]. The results of this further development have been summarized and presented to the [[http://www.bag.admin.ch/|Swiss Department of Health]] in [[https://www.dropbox.com/s/enl3j1av6nnjywe/HospitalCheckconcept.pdf|a short paper]]. A prototype binary of the app can be [[https://www.dropbox.com/s/upstaza1gcf6su0/CH-Hospitals.apk|downloaded]] and installed at your own risk (you must enable non-App Store software in Settings first).

+The data is available under Creative Commons license in the [[http://opendata.admin.ch/de/organization/bundesamt-fur-gesundheit-bag|Open Government Data pilot portal]], updated with 2011 statistics. If we get enough interest in the app, we will be happy to update it. Please contact the developers directly.
