As tablet infiltrate into the personal and business world, it is leaving a mark into
the educational and EMR software. First and second year medical students were given tablets and incorporated into their training, education, and grades. It has become the medium in obtaining notes.

I remember the day when it was the PDAs and then laptops. Tablets are the "new" medium to apply information exchange and education. I believe more institutions will embrace the tablets and incorporated as the mean or complements to other devices (like laptops and cell phones).

As for me, it does not change the perspective of how tablet could be used in the Healthcare sector. If EMR could be applied, I hope more directives are placed for eDR software
