With Philips joining Motion in creating new Tablet PC based devices many may be wondering why Intel is getting so much of the limelight. Well, the answer is their new ‘Mobile Clinical Assistant’ platform that Intel has been developing.

It seems that Intel has been working with Electronic Medical Records software companies and various hardware companies to help both optimize their products for each other.

The current list of software partners includes: Cerner, Cardinal Health, Eclipsys, Epic, GE Healthcare, iSoft, McKesson, McKesson France, Nexus, Siemens Medical, Siemens Medical France and Welch Allyn.

For software developers, there’s an SDK with tools and applications for linking with the Mobile Clinical Assistant API which is present on all MCA devices.

For more information on the Mobile Clinical Assistant platform see the MCA pages on Intel’s website.
