“Apple’s (AAPL) hit iPhone, with its large color screen and full Web access, has been a boon for some graphics-rich medical applications. A software company called Life Record is using the iPhone to help physicians view patients’ medical records, including electrocardiograms and brain scans, on the go. “Since the iPhone release, our business has quadrupled,” says Michael Pike, Life Record’s chief software architect. Doctors can also use Life Record to order prescriptions, an area where many medical errors occur.”

Webapps run inside Safari which doesn’t really provide the authentic iPhone experience, at least not up to the level of an actual app.

You can take your negative attitude else where, I was simply making a suggestion. As Apple usually only makes things work great, I would of assumed that it would be a application. I would also hope you are not a manager at a Apple store because you are VERY unfriendly. I presume that’s why your name is “someone”.

Mike,

I am a iPhone owner and have been for almost a year now, that is why I assumed that Apple would not make the application run this way. The web-apps are very slow. :(

Next time, maybe you should stick to making claims you actually know things about.

Making data available to an iPhone user is hardly groundbreaking.

However…the Concept behind what they are doing is very interesting, and should allow them to possibly sell products (and this type of data collecting system) to retail or supply chain companies.

I am sorry to say your incorrect, it may be possible you have not been following the latest iPhone software updates. In June the bata software kits will become not beta and will be available for others to make similar applications for the iPhone such as the Managers iPhone application.
