The iPad will have been on the market for about a year when the Blackberry Playbook is released early next year, but has it really affected the healthcare industry that largely. There is no dub there are many doctors that use the iPad to aid them in demonstrating content to their patients, but for the most part the iPad has not really made its ways into hospitals all over the cow try or been the world.
On the other hand, the Blackberry Playbook might live up the healthcare industry's approval. They have worked largely with Blackberry smart phones, so the Playbook tablet may be more widely accepted.
CEO and President Mark Willnerd of TouMetis, showed some medical apps for PlayBook for example app for orthopedic surgeons, where they can design, for example, new knee replacements for patients right from a BlackBerry or from the PlayBook.
Also, RIM indicated remote EMR access as a potential use case for PlayBooks in the medical field; “For example, a medical records application can attach image files to a patient’s medical record, with the option to open or preview the record, or view the list of available images before it is downloaded to the BlackBerry smartphone.”
As stated above, since many healthcare related companies are using Blackberry servers, networks, and smartphone devices, I think it would be valid to say the the Playbook would be quite the affordable way to expand their technologies whiteout having to start anew.
