"Tactile Systems is one of the first developers to leverage
the built-in apps and stationery. At Apple, we designed this capability
so that developers could offer targeted solutions for specific customer
needs. Instead of learning an esoteric, stand-alone program, the user can
simply augment the familiar applications they already know. 'Medical Extensions'
adds the ideal functionality to support a physician; in fact, it converts
a Newton PDA into a 'Physician's Digital Assitant.'"
With Tactile Systems Medical Extension, your Newton 2.0 device's built in "Names" Application can be used to capture clinical information. This application forms the heart of Tactile's Medical Application Suite

By providing our software in a modular format we hope to give the end user the choice of what functionality they would like to install in their Newton device.
