At this point, there is very little agreement with some pointing to the ubiquitous nature of the iPhone in healthcare as a foreshadowing of the iPad’s future impact, while others point to the modest uptake of tablet computing platforms as a precursor for minimal impact. Our 2 cents worth… We believe the iPad will see the biggest impact in two areas: medical education and patient-clinician communication.
