Boost Announces Samsung Transform Ultra QWERTY Slider For Oct. 7

You are in an Android Post

Up until the beginning of the month, we had known Samsung's Transform Ultra for Boost Mobile as the SPH-M930 QWERTY slider. That all changed thanks to a tipster, hooking us up with some pics of the phone and a few specs. What we didn't know at the time was when Boost would end up releasing the phone; now Boost has officially announced the Transform Ultra, revealing it will arrive on October 7.

The specs we heard for the Transform Ultra are largely confirmed by Boost; the phone will have a 1GHz processor, main three-megapixel camera, and a VGA front-facer. There's no mention of internal storage here, just the inclusion of a 2GB microSD card, but we were told the phone should have 1GB of flash for itself. The handset's price also check-out, going for about $230 when it arrives. That's going to end making it one pretty darn decent deal for no-contract hardware, and maybe the best option going on Boost.

There is one downside to the Transform Ultra's release, though. One day before it comes out, Boost is hiking its data plans for Androids by five bucks a month. Existing customers can grandfather-in, but you'll be a day too late to get the old price on this phone.

Electronic medical records get a boost from iPad, federal funding

The iPad may help electronic medical records (EMR, sometimes also referred to as electronic health records, or EHR) finally gain wide adoption, thanks in part to a new program that will see the federal government dispersing grants to doctors who make use of a free native EMR iPad app.

Drchrono announced Thursday that doctors who use their EMR app to store and track patient data will receive up to $44,000 in incentives. The federal subsidies are now accessible to medical professionals because drchrono has been certified for “Meaningful Use,” making it the only app of its kind to receive such certification so far. Meaningful use is a designation used by the government to describe EHR tech that meets a set of criteria that use can be accurately measured in qualifiable and quantifiable terms.

The certification could be a good first step towards finally arriving at an EMR solution that will actually have broad appeal. Drchrono CEO and co-founder Michael Nusimow describes his app’s advantages in this regard:

This certification transforms our EHR app and the iPad into a potentially affordable platform that could finally drive global usage and adoption of Electronic Medical Records. The government subsidy offered to physicians who adopt our free EHR solution could be transformational in bringing electronic record keeping into every medical practice.

EHR adoption still faces considerable challenges. There are major privacy concerns surrounding the tech for many patients, and the cost of initial conversion of records can be high. That’s why drchrono being offered free (albeit with different tiered monthly service packages ranging from free to $799 per month, coupled with monetary adoption incentives is so promising. Also, government certification should help to allay some privacy concerns.

What do you think? Would you be happy to see your family doctor carrying an iPad instead of a clipboard?
