Deploy an Easy Apple CareKit iOS App for Healthcare with a HIPAA-ready back end

Recently, Elton de Souza (Chief Architect, IBM) and I (Developer Advocate, IBM) conducted a webinar on Deploying an Easy Apple CareKit iOS App for Healthcare with a HIPAA-ready back end.

We covered a lot of points in this presentation, which includes the topic of confidential computing, what is overall security and how do policies play a major role when it comes to the topic of security where we majorly focused on Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its implications on healthcare.

Slide11

The application Elton demonstrated was an iOS application which has been created on top of Apple CareKit and to further extend the functionality and connectivity there is an Hyper Protect SDK for CareKit which allows us to connect to Hyper Protect Services on IBM Cloud

Wondering what is Hyper Protect?
It is basically IBM's confidential computing services which are provided and are focused mainly on security and efficiency.

There is a variety of Hyper Protect services which are available on IBM Cloud which you can sign up and login by clicking here

It was a very interesting webinar and I being new to the topic of confidential computing really enjoyed presenting the tech-talk with Elton.
