How PDAs Help Medical Students



Check out this site: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/.

Personally I like it. You can find there loads of information about PDAs
and software, including reviews of the latest device and software
designed for windows mobile. You might want to check the forum and even
register. The latest article published on the site is about How PDAs
help medical students. Here's an excerpt of the article:

"Brown University medical student Jeremy Boyd leaned on the rail of
Marian Thorpe's hospital bed and asked her about her collapse during
dialysis. Then he asked whether she had any other medical conditions...
They discussed her kidney problems, colon cancer and gout as well as her
allergies and family history. Afterward, Boyd stepped into the hallway
and recorded the information on his personal digital assistant
<http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/index.php?action=expand,47434#> . Brown
recently joined a growing number of medical and nursing schools that
require students to buy and use PDAs. Faculty and students say the
technology saves time and helps them provide better care, in addition to
reducing medical errors. Drug references and diagnostic programs can be
stored on them, giving physicians information at their fingertips."

Remember: Get the word out about this site and luckily our leaders will
know the true definition of technology. :-)

Read the review of one of the latest device from HTC, Imate K-Jam. It's
got a sliding QWERTY keyboard.


Enjoy
