چکیده

The explosive growth of handheld personal digital assistants (PDAs) in health care has been nothing short of amazing.

PDAs are simple and intuitive; their applications require minimal interaction time, so they have minimal impact on work flow: the investment is small; and the lightweight form is relatively nonintrusive during a patient encounter.

This article discusses current and possible future uses for PDAs in health care, interfaces with other technologies and security concerns.
