Description

As digital solutions become more prevalent within healthcare, developer options for delivering these solutions have also increased. One option that has gained recent prominence is the progressive web application (PWA). PWAs sit somewhere between a native mobile application and a mobile responsive website. We will describe our experiences with creating PWAs including exploring use cases for PWAs. We will also discuss future use cases for PWAs that we are actively developing.

Describe the new knowledge and additional skills the participant will gain after attending your presentation.: The attendee will be able to describe what a progressive web application (PWA) is. The attendee will also understand the the potential benefits of a PWA for mobile devices over a mobile responsive web site and native mobile application.

In addition, current use cases for PWAs within one healthcare system and our experiences with the development and distribution of PWAs will also be discussed.
