Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) April 25, 2005 -- Healthcare professionals have long
shown their preference for PalmOne handheld and smartphone solutions and the
popularity of their newest smartphone the Treo™ 650 smartphone, continues to
drive that demand. Over 50% of Physicians use a PDA and most have a mobile
phone. The Treo 650 smartphone combines these two devices in a compact,
feature-rich, yet simple-to-use unit.
IQMax, Inc. is a pioneer in PDA
solution development that function on both Palm ® operating system based devices
and Microsoft® Pocket PC PDAs. Released in 2001, IQMax’s IQSpeak® solution was
the first dictation solution designed for the healthcare market to function on a
Palm OS based PDA.
Form Meets Function
Healthcare providers are
arguably the most demanding group of PDA users. Simplicity of use, extended
battery life, compact size, reliability and connectivity are just a few of the
design elements required in a PDA. Add the functionality of a mobile phone and
few manufacturers have come close to meeting the market need until the
introduction of the Treo 650 smartphone.
“IQMax technology coupled with
the Treo 650 smartphone is a significant step in increasing adoption of
fully-integrated mobile solutions by physicians.” says Gail Moody – Byrd,
director of business and healthcare marketing at palmOne. “Capturing results at
the time of intervention, synchronizing encounter data to the host systems and
receiving updated patient census and schedule data along with clinical results,
all of which the IQMax and Treo 650 solutions deliver, demonstrate the power of
technology to enhance the workflow requirements of healthcare professionals and
allow them to gain more quality time with their patients.”
IQMax
solutions place significant performance standards on PDAs including voice
recording, data communications, and high performance expanded memory along with
excellent reliability.
“Reliable, robust voice recording and file
synchronization are two of our key benchmarks when testing PDA devices.” says
Chris Updegraft, VP, Chief Architect for IQMax. If the PDA is going to fail
under stress conditions, it will typically show up quickly on our test bed
during simulated voice recording.” Updegraft further commented “The Treo 650 has
met our strenuous testing requirements. Additionally, the wide area wireless
(WAN) communications support adds an additional dimension that will allow
physicians to synchronize anywhere, anytime when the high-speed WAN data
networks are provided by the wireless carriers.”
Wireless carriers
currently supporting the Treo 650 smartphone include Sprint® and Cingular®.
Check with your wireless carrier or PalmOne, Inc. for current
availability.
