LambdaNative is freely available under the BSD license, extensively documented, and hosted on GitHub.

LambdaNative builds native applications on a wide range of platforms including iOS, Android, Blackberry, OS X, Linux, Windows, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD and OpenWrt, from a single source code.

LambdaNative allows you to create high-quality code in the high-level functional language Scheme, dramatically shortening development time, and producing better code with fewer bugs.

LambdaNative is developed and maintained by the Pediatric Anesthesia Research Team (PART) and the Electrical and Computer Engineering in Medicine (ECEM) group at the University of British Columbia (UBC).

LambdaNative is currently used for clinical trials of medical technology in more than 10 countries involving around 100,000 subjects in all.

This example application is a complete cross-platform (iOS, Android etc.) calculator that supports rational numbers and complex arithmetic, all in 100 lines of code.

This example illustrates rapid development of cross-platform native mHealth applications with the LambdaNative LNHealth framework.
