I decided with the next few posts to get some feedback from users of technology. Please read the interview below.
Name: Ross McKenzie
Position / Role: (IT Evangelist, Apple Supporter....) IT Director
Years Experience in technology: 20+
Prior to the Apple iPad what were your feelings about the future of the tablet computing marketplace as a whole?
I have never been a proponent of tablet computing mainly due to what I considered a poor visual interface. Tablet screens have been hard to read and hard to manipulate from the beginning with little, if any, improvement over the years.
Where do you think the industry was headed?
I think the use for tablets would have stayed in niche industries for years had he iPad not come along.
After the iPad? (Better, worse, explain)
Much better. The iPad is a clear, crisp screen with very easy to use movements that far surpasses the previous tablets and is incredibly easy to use.
In the marketplace of tablet computing in healthcare which direction do you think things are headed?
A connected tablet device is really the future of computing - it's less imposing that a laptop and more inclined to be used for specific clinical, reporting, etc applications.
Is the market trending up?
I think Apple's release sales figures for the iPad speak for themselves. This is more that Apple fans purchasing the iPad.
With the development of apps for the iPad do you feel developers will make a decent attempt to break into the computing marketplace in healthcare?
I think it will be the other eay around in the long run - healthcare providers will be developing for the iPad rather than iPad developers going into HealthCare for real productivity tools.
If a sizable effort was made to develop an end to end solution for healthcare with iPad integration do you feel it would be adopted?
Yes I do. Many of the tools are in pace for surveying, reporting, etc. What's needed is a strategic direction and some investment and this could certainly be feasible.
