We have taken this technology one step further by allowing medical researches to create their own custom data collection systems online, eliminating the time and cost of developing a custom one-off solution. We have seen great success with our Cabooble application in the short time we have launched the software as an SaaS model. Essentially researchers can launch multi-site projects from our website in a matter of minutes. Currently we have five universities using the software for Traumatic Brain Injury Research and growing. Swink hopes to advance the speed and scope of research by leveraging online communities.

One technology area that has dramatically impacted healthcare is portable computers and handhelds. Advances in tablet computers are driving efficiencies and improvements in patient care and enabling our physicians to be more productive and provide high-quality care.

We deployed an EMR system four years ago using tablet computers, and have since upgraded to the Latitude XT systems. We are thrilled and our doctors are very happy with the improvement. Moving from an old slate model to the new Dell convertible tablets has been one of the biggest technological improvements of the year so far.

The ability to collaborate for researchers is critical to the success of drug discovery in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. More and more, biologists, chemists, clinical researchers, and other scientists must cross traditional scientific boundaries to get the expertise they need to be successful in the new world of biological science.
