Clinicians interested in using PDAs for clinical transactions should consult
Information Systems Division (ISD) for a recommendation on the platform
to purchase.
Health-related resources generally have high memory requirements. Most
PDAs have the capacity to add memory but not all resources will run on the
expanded memory. Check the memory requirements for resources you're interested
in downloading and buy a PDA with as much built in memory as you can afford.
