The other day, I went to a sales exhibition on all kinds of scanners. One of the scanners that I came across is the Medicscan. This is a rather new technology which primarily scans medical cards. After watching their demonstration, I believe every health care center should have at least one unit as it would streamline work, improve customer service and drastically reduce human error.
After scanning the medical card, the image, saved in any format that you wish, could be stored locally on the computer, on the server, appended to the digital patient card or sent by email. The image and colors produced were very vivid and close to the real card.
Apart from scanning medical cards, Medicscan can also be used to scan anything at all, including rigid plastic cards.
You may wonder what difference Medicscan has compared the our regular document scanner. Well, this was what I was impressed with. The Medicscan could extract textual data to a database. I did wonder how the text could fit into the appropriate fields but I did not ask :-)
