Tablet Kiosk appears to the the first to take orders. Remember this is the high end product and not the unit coming out with the lower end processor. They have also provided options to configure your unit, with accessories to be ordered as available.
Origami UMPC from Tablet Kiosk
I really like the idea of a UMPC tied with an EMR. It won’t replace tablets or desktops, but it would be nice to have with an EMR. One option I’ve considered for a UMPC is for patient education where they need to read something. I also think a UMPC would be really nice to do a digital signature in an EMR. You could hand over the UMPC to the patient so they can read the consent for treatment form and then sign it digitally. This type of electronic signature would be pretty nice. Plus, you wouldn’t have to try and maneuver a tablet so they can sign it or use some other type of electronic signature technology. Just buy a couple UMPC’s that nurses and doctors can share for different patient signatures or patient education.
Other applications for UMPC devices in healthcare will certainly be coming. Just wait.
Here’s the press release:
