Introduction

LambdaNative is an open-source (BSD licensed) cross-platform development environment written in Scheme (Gambit-C), supporting Android, iOS, OS X, Linux, Windows and OpenBSD.

LambdaNative is actively developed and used at the University of British Columbia by the Pediatric Anesthesia Research Team for production of clinical mHealth applications, including mission-critical embedded drug delivery systems and telemonitoring apps for iPhone and Android smartphones. LambdaNative-based applications have been used in clinical trials on >10,000 subjects in Canada, France, India, Uganda, Bangladesh, and South Africa, in >10 separate clinical studies:

Petersen CL, Görges M, Dunsmuir D, Ansermino JM, Dumont GA. "Experience Report: Functional Programming of mHealth Applications". The 18th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming, ICFP'13, Boston, MA, USA

If you use the LambdaNative framework for your own work, please reference this paper. A list of other publications that use LambdaNative and Gambit is here.
