The Evolution of Handheld Device in Medical Care
![Page 2: Handheld device med_care_2001](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022100600/5550495cb4c905b2788b4ed0/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The Goals
• Reduce Errors– Better care for patients– Lower Malpractice fees
• Increase Efficiency– See more patients– Reduce headcount– Reduce turn around time for claims
• Reduce paperwork• Even improve patient satisfaction

What are we Trying to Automate?
• MD interaction with Patient
• MD Access when not in the office
• Applications – – E-prescriptions– Schedule / Demographics– Medical Record / Charting– Charge Capture

The Newton
• Replace reference books– Drug Manuals– Infectious Disease reference
• Beginnings of patient record capture
• Store patient information (schedules, etc)
• Start of wireless use with Guppies

The Palm
• Proliferation of separate applications• Prescription writing• Medical record capture• Charge Capture• Many single use application show up

The Palm++
• Symbol, etc
• Bar code module
• Wireless Access, but not well accepted

Over the Hump
• iPaq – Wireless LAN
• Sierra Cards (CDPD)
• Palm VII
• Realtime integration medical records
• Win CE with voice recording support
• Larger/brighter screens

Barriers to Physician adoption
• Infrastructure requirements
• Lots of “Noise’ in the market
• Integration with existing systems
• Battery power
• Security?

What does MDanywhere Do?
• Device agnostic – Avoid the tool belt approach
• Connected only world – will migrate to both pre-load of static pages and intermittently connected networks
• Full suite of applications• Same functionality on desktop and handheld• Internet access with encrypted links

What’s the Near Future?
• Mixed mode devices– iPaq with > local storage (driven by MP3 use)– Local store, with transparent sync.– Common device frameworks
• Specialty WinCE devices– Biometric support (fingerprint)– Wireless, larger screens
• Voice recognition/control• Industry ad-hoc standards
