Market-leading aged care software vendor iCareHealth is set to release redeveloped versions of its medications management app at the end of the year and has moved to six-monthly release cycles for its core clinical and care management software now that Microsoft's Azure cloud platform is available in Australian data centres.

iCareHealth's chief technology officer Craige Pendleton-Browne said the company had moved to hosting its development and test environments in Azure, which meant it was able to innovate faster and implement continuous integration.

The move has also allowed the company to move to an Agile methodology faster and more easily than expected, Mr Pendleton-Browne said.
