Hospital in California Using iPad for Medical Purposes

Well, we had mentioned it in the past, about how the iPad could be a perfect fit for the medical world, and it looks like at least one hospital in California agrees with us. Thanks to Nick Volosin, the Director of Technical Services for the Kaweah Delta Health Care District, the hospital in question has been testing three iPads since its official launch at the beginning of the month. And apparently it’s been a smash hit.

According to Volosin, the iPad’s 10 hour battery life is perfect for every day use around the hospital. Things like email, and occasionally browsing the Internet are perfectly capable on the iPad. Of course, looking at things like EKG results, X-rays, and monitoring patient status are all necessities, and thankfully the iPad can also utilize the Citrix Receiver application to handle all of those things while a nurse or doctor are on the move.

As we mentioned above, the hospital has been only using three iPads since April 3rd, but Volosin has put in an order for 100 more, to hopefully distribute equally throughout the hospital. And of course, with the Citrix virtual office software, every one of the tablets will be able to utilize the same functions, and hopefully make the doctors and nurses there far more connected to the patients, even when they’re walking through the halls.

    The iPad is being used here as a WiFi dumb terminal. It is really the folks at Citrix who should get credit for this.

    True story, and that's why they get mentioned. But, for the sake of the iPad, there were plenty of tablet devices in the past that could have, essentially, run the same software, but obviously none of them were good enough to do what needs to be done.

    The iPad fills that gap for a lot of people out there.

    That's really great news. Most people see iPad only as a multimedia gadget used mainly for entertainment, and this news proves that iPad can truly be very helpful for people in such serious and important spheres as healthcare for example.

    This is great news that the iPad with the help of the Citrix Receiver is being successfully used in a hospital (a small start before many follow suit, I hope) to keep track of the patients’ progress What a difference this can make to the medical community as a whole – the doctors, staff nurses, interns it will truly be a great step forward in the health care department Let us use gadgets like the iPads for saving the lives of millions of the patients all around the world

    Stylus-R-Us is already dealing with countless hospitals around the US - way before California jumped on the band wagon - though you may believe - we're glad they did. But in all seriousness - can you see doctors and nurses - fingering the iPad glass - repeatedly all day long? We've read where the doctors are using the pad to show patients ex rays and other medical issues - thus allowing the pad to be close to patients - and we read where kids are getting to sample/touch various doctors pads. No doubt - the iPad has no better place - than a hospital. But that is ONLY - if used with the only stylus on earth that works with ZERO downward pressure on the glass - unlike the PoGo and allllll of the others.

    The use of an iPad in a hospital without our stylus - is begging for trouble in more ways than one. Knowing this will rise from the grave - those who love to argue and defend issues they simply feel love defending for the heck of it - try this on for size first. Click this link.

    With the help of the programs and software installed in ipad, it is possibly make up a doctor endlessly more persuading and address the very real concerns of patients who are able to receive real time audiovisual presentations -- helping to attenuate medical language into every day laymen's terms.

    iPad is not only used for entertainment, web surfing or for checking emails but also for businesses. In our company we use iPad to build our virtual office, and we use Citrix Receiver for iPad to make it easy to take the virtual office on the go.. When you plan to use your iPad for businesses it is better you get the best model with the availability of WiFi and 3G in order to accelerate your business.
