As Research In Motion positions its new BlackBerry PlayBook tablet for the enterprise, it may focus some of its marketing efforts on the health care field.
With health care organizations already equipped with BlackBerry smartphones and relying on the security the device brings, the PlayBook could be a natural fit for hospitals and doctor's offices to deploy as well.
At the BlackBerry Developer Conference on Sept. 27 in San Francisco, RIM introduced its BlackBerry Enterprise Application Development Middleware, which includes a File Transfer Library application allowing doctors to attach image files to patients' EMRs (electronic medical records).
Using the library application, physicians would be able to open or preview a record and also browse images before sending them to a RIM smartphone and perhaps a PlayBook tablet. Physicians at the least will be able to view these applications on the PlayBook via a Bluetooth connection from a BlackBerry smartphone using the larger screen. More Information Click Here.
