Is this the perfect TabletPC for Health Care?
|
Introduction: Last update: 03/30/2004 |
The Scribbler by Electrovaya, enables healthcare professionals to elevate patient care to a whole new level of Digital, Virtual and Mobile computing.
The Scribbler frees the healthcare worker from paper as well as their desktop! The physician need no longer balance a notebook on their lap, or turn away from the patient as they type information, or transfer paper documents to computers, or detail encounters after hours. The Scribbler, allows a wealth of information at the point of care from past history, tests, treatment and diagnosis to educational material.
In the following days and weeks I will be exercising the battery and this unit to its fullest extent, stay tuned if you are interested.
SUBJECTIVE Impression:
 
Is this the perfect TabletPC for Health Care?.................
