"What's so neat about this (medical tablet) is that is has a digital camera on the back and a bar code scanner on the side," says Sean Chai, senior IT manager at the Garfield Innovation Center.
The camera is used to record patient conditions and the bar code scanners can be used for patient identification and dispensing medications. These tablets also have sealed screens, so they can be dunked in water and washed.
