New health and f itness applications are becoming available for your Android phones and tab lets every day. With the advent of modern UX\, touch interfaces and smart devices\, users are expecting their decades-old medical and health devices to catch up with technology as well. Today\, when we see a display\, we a utomatically want to interact with it using a touch interface and we expec t the device to be smart\, connected and aware.\n\nNow\, Android is being used in medical devices\, providing a rich User Interface which might have traditionally been built as an embedded device from scratch. It is time-c onsuming to re-invent the wheel and build a rich UI\, connectivity and sec urity system from scratch.\n\nJoin us at the Alpha Loft in Manchester on W ed March 15th at 6 pm for a joint GDGNH and IEEE NH Computer Society event .
