Forget pen and paper as material for the doctors to work with, the new tech thing is a tablet computer that can be washed (for disinfection). The MedPad comes with bluetooth for doctors to transfer any kind of data easily, and also WiFi for a… internet connection?

The screen resolution is pretty good – 1024 x 768 pixels – and so is the weight (12 ounces which is 340 grams), did I mention it is small too? It features a Intel 624MHz Processor + WinCE as the Operative System, and lastly, the battery life can hold up to 12 hours – a whole shift for the doctors.

Each one costs $5,000, but if you decide to buy more than 50 the price drops to $2,000 per unit. You only need a clinic afterwards to use it…
