It was only five years ago that tablet devices quickly made their way into the hands of clinicians. Seemingly overnight the tablet form factor became a dominant device, used by a majority of physicians in the US, often in addition to their existing PCs and laptops.

Consumer-grade tablets broke into clinical settings as a part of the massive BYOD trend sweeping IT departments at the time. They overcame the various adoption issues that their predecessors — rigorous, clinical-grade tablet devices — couldn’t.

Five years on clinicians are demanding more from these devices. Device makers across the board have recognized that enterprise users, especially those in healthcare, have different needs than consumers do and deserve devices that meet them.
