Wacom's Cintiq interactive pen displays allow medical personnel to work with digital medical records in the most natural way possible. The Cintiq pen can be used to intuitively annotate digital medical images, x-rays, and scans so that this information can be consolidated into a single electronic patient database.
Here are some excerpts from a conversation with Amy McDonald who is the systems adminstrator at Parkland Eye Clinic where they are actually using this technology:
“It’s very difficult to make a drawing and write with a mouse.”
“Some things you cannot describe easily in words, but you can draw.”
“They [the doctors] can see what they’re drawing at pen point just as they do when putting a pencil to paper, but with the advantages of having an electronic document for filing and future reference.”
