Finally, the reminder service for patients is managed thanks to the Google Agenda reminders service that send reminders on phones at a special date and hour through a gateway running on the android server to patients mobile phone.

Idium Web

Norwegian CMS vendor Idium is using Apache Sling for its Idium Web product. The product, available as a subscription service only, is aimed towards small businesses, who need a simple way of setting up and managing their website.

The product uses Sling and Dojo to create a very rich drag-and-drop interface, where the user drags elements onto a webpage. Elements can be text, image galleries, Google maps or other multimedia. The system also creates graphics and CSS dynamically, in order to provide consistent color and design schemes, while being fully configurable.

Upon establishing this project, Idium evaluated several server-side frameworks. Sling was chosen for its RESTful interface to a hierarchy repository, which proved to be a very good match for a web-based CMS.
