Choose The Best Medical PDA For Your Needs
PDA means Personal Digital Assistant. They are hand held computers. In the field of medicine, PDAs are capable of helping in diagnosis, prescription and other information as well as help in communication. The following is an example of the best medical PDA available in the market.
It would only be fair to mention the name of the first effort made in this line. It was a study by the Harvard Medical School in collaboration with the Brigham & Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospitals. It was called the Constellations Project. It was set up with the aim of studying the difference in the effectiveness shown by wired doctors as against unwired ones.
Today it offers a huge array of resources like treatment options, drug information, evidence based information, guidelines, and journal summaries that include drug & safety alerts. There have been many innovative technological advancements made in the field of medical PDAs.
Among these, one of the best is the Tungsten E2 Handheld. Although much heavier than most PDAs, the Tungsten E2 Handheld has many other significant advantages. An out of the box area it deals with is that, the Tungsten E2 Handheld has a 32 MB memory that could be expanded in more than one way. These include Multimedia cards, SDIO, and SD. In addition to this, the Tungsten E2 Handheld uses a Flash memory and not a Â"volatileÂ" RAM (Random Access Memory). This is certainly an advantage because in case the PDA crashes down, none of the information will be erased as it will in the case of RAM. The Tungsten E2 Handheld operates a Palm operating system. This makes it compatible with almost all the medical software that are currently available. Nonetheless, some studies done in an attempt to compare the Tungsten E2 with other PDAs have discovered that the Palm OS operated by it is much more stable than Windows operated by other PDAs. In most circumstances, this factor can prove to be critical. Also, this PDA has an in-built Bluetooth technology. This means that it could wirelessly communicate with various other devices. But the only limitation is that it has a processor of only a 200 MHz, which means that it may communicate at a slower pace than some other PDAs. The Tungsten E2 Handheld costs somewhere in between $190 and $260. Though this article has taken this example as one of the best medical PDA, the market today is full of other models with similar features. Some may even have some added features and some features removed from this or that model.
