Air Force 4N Aerospace Medical Service

This application connects multiple levels of Air Force personnel currently working in our specialty and those that are interested in our specialty by offering additional communication methods while on the go, both online and offline. This app will help Air Force medics stay organized by having quick access to essential information needed for their job and career accessible in one location without having to search multiple media outlets from a desktop computer. Our app provides a great way for leadership to communicate to all 4N medics at a quicker pace than traditional email and Sharepoint sites and without requiring CAC access. The app also allows users to pre-download documents so that they are available in both online and offline mode, allowing medics to have access to critical information even when cellular and WiFi service is unavailable. And, the app will automatically detect when downloaded content has been updated and will re-download and replace outdated versions.
