HealthRamp Inc. has purchased more than 200 Tungsten C PDAs from palmOne Inc. HealthRamp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ramp Corp., will offer the Wi-Fi enabled PDAs to physicians for use with its CarePoint electronic prescribing software.
The application is designed to enable physicians to write prescriptions as well as view lab orders and results on PDAs running the Palm OS or Windows Mobile operating system. HealthRamp plans to purchase more PDAs and Treo 600 smart phones from palmOne to package with the software as it continues its electronic prescribing campaign aimed at more than 35,000 physicians nationwide.
The vendors will jointly sponsor a Webinar on June 9 focused on emerging technologies for point-of-care automation. The Webinar also will feature a demonstration of the CarePoint software on a palmOne PDA.
