Medical School Creates Handy App

Barry University has created a PDA-based clinical database application for its medical students. The Miami Shores, Fla.-based school's medical students use the application to record demographic and treatment data for each patient as they work alongside specialty physicians. After finishing their required six weeks in a specialty, students return to class and wirelessly sync their PDAs with their professor's PDA to upload all treatment records. The combined records are then sent to a Microsoft access database at the school for analysis.

Barry University created the PDA application, called HandEchart, using the HanDBase hand-held database from DDH Software Inc., Lake Worth, Fla. The database can be linked to other databases on wired networks. It also can be used on both the PocketPC and Palm OS operating systems.
