Cincinnati Children’s easily develops a mobile app with Azure services

[Music]
Calvin was born with a very rare genetic
condition when I first started coming to
children's for his appointments I
actually got lost quite a few times
everyone understands that need for
technology to help families navigate
this really large medical center as well
as the care of their child that's our
mission you know and that's what we're
always looking for how do we enable
better patient care at sustain childrens
so Karen is that visual concierge that
our patients and Families interact with
through a mobile app we knew we were
going to need a platform that provided
agility and allowed us to move fast and
so I sure was a logical choice in that
we didn't have experience with the
mobile apps before so this was kind of
our real step into Azure we got to be
able to stay in a language space that we
were familiar with which was c-sharp and
writing on the dotnet stack by going
with the same reformer out we were able
to leverage code reuse as much as
possible one of the things we got to try
new was the Azure function and this is
our first service project so this
shifted our mindset of how we wanted to
approach Karen Adsit platform so we
looked at how do we decompose Karen into
the respective pieces we knew we needed
a fast database cosmos TV rose to the
top with Karen one of the features that
we wanted to include was a chat bot by
leveraging the Microsoft bot code
samples and also Lois we didn't have to
worry about building out a language
model maintaining it training and that
sort
so in our work with our Karen f we're
really proud that it's working patients
are already seeing value from it that's
what matters does society learns has
been amazing in our lives having that
app definitely gave me a new perspective
on the hospital I can know what's going
on with my child because I have their
care now
and I think that it's helped me be a
better mother to my child
