WPF Healthcare Demo

Impress your friends showcasing WPF

You surely already have seen demonstrations of the applications which can be made using Windows Presentation Foundation (formerly Avalon). At events like the Ready For a New Day Launch, for instance.

Among those, did you see that impressive healthcare monitoring application with pages rotating in 3D? Well, it's available now, together with its source code. It runs on Windows Vista, but also on Windows XP (provided you install the .net framework 3.0). Just download it there, and run it (it's already compiled).

Unzip it, go to the Healthcare_Prototype\sources\Avalon Patient Monitoring\bin\Release directory and double click Avalon Patient Monitoring.exe. And impress your friends.

From a technical standpoint: what's impressive is not as much the result (such applications could be made before WPF) as the fact this kind of applications can be created easily, quickly and in an elegant way with WPF. In the ZIP file you'll get, there's a PowerPoint document explaining what's behind the application.
