Powerful Personal Devices at Work webinar playback
Created March 10, 2011 by Jim Haviland
Thanks to everyone that attended our webinar on personal devices at work. There were a lot of questions, most of which we covered during the event, but clearly we had a lot more content than we had originally planned for. My apologies to those who had planned on the half-hour session. Thanks to all of our customers and their inspiring work on developing a vision for how mobile IT can help us all get to a more balanced lifestyle.

There were a few questions during the event that we didn’t get to.
- Which Android devices have on-board encryption? Bryan Thomas from our Mobile Engineering Team offered this: “Currently Android 2.3 and lower doesn’t support native data at rest encryption. The only Android OS to do so is 3.0 Honeycomb, which is a tablet only OS. They will be using the knowledge and trials from 3.0 to build in native data at rest encryption into the next release of Android , code named Ice Cream Sandwich ( 2.4 ? )”
- Can you comment on the current FDA approval of apps for Physicians to view MRI, CAT etc via iPhone and iPad? Any examples of policy on this? We applaud the FDA in clarifying the rules regarding software development for mHealth and for making an excellent decision. The FDA guidance (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-02-15/html/2011-3321.htm) makes it pretty clear that Apps that collect or display data – but don’t interpret data or make specific medical judgements – don’t require special approval. The ruling is very new so we don’t have much in the way of examples or stories of it being applied. We do know that existing apps are on lots of devices and that hospitals have been doing lots of work around securing the access to patient data around HIPAA regulations. We can introduce you to a number of technologies that help with this.
