I love to read how PDA's are increasingly being used in the medical field. I found an article on CNW, a Canadian news website, that describes the use of PDA's in a new medical study.
The answer may be in your hand: Using PDAs to study alcohol and aggression
LONDON, ON, March 15 /CNW/ - It may be the first time survey participants
will be asked to answer researchers' questions using a personal digital
assistant (PDA), while sipping on a cocktail.
New federal funding will enable psychology professor Peter Hoaken at The
University of Western Ontario to further explore the ties between alcohol and
human aggression by collecting information using PDAs. The benefit of this new
approach is that it will allow survey participants to record their responses
in natural settings, instead of in laboratories or through a process of
recall.
