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. The results of this further development have been summarized and presented to the Department of Health [[https://www.dropbox.com/s/enl3j1av6nnjywe/HospitalCheckconcept.pdf|in 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). | In late 2012, the project was continued as part of an internship at [[http://appswithlove.com|Apps with love GmbH]].
