When UMPCs were announced, there was a lot of discussions about the potential market space the device could cater for. One of which was the Medical Industry. Today “BrunMed Inc” has transformed itself to “Scriptnetics” but keeps its focus on the medical apps. Their main focus being the Tablet PC and UMPCs with two products MedScribbler and RxScribbler.
The now newly named Scriptnetics began to leverage the new technologies into applications for medical doctors. Physicians and hospitals were the first large group of corridor warriors to purchase and use the Tablet PC. The first application released by Scriptnetics was Medscribbler, the first electronic medical record (EMR) with embedded handwriting.
Other Scriptnetics products include: a soon to be released an UMPC based prescription writer called RxScribbler, a medical dictionary for the Tablet PC, Prairie Dog Bash for the UMPC plus customized software applications for medical and medical software companies[...]

ActiveWords are now instantly available using ink on a Windows Tablet PC or UMPC. Tap the stylus on the InkPad icon, ink your ActiveWord, tap “Go”, and your ActiveWord is acted on. Tap, ink, and go!. Some of the main features are

- The new interface implements a floating InkPad icon that can now be dragged to any edge of the display where it is docked as a pop-out tab. You can drag the tab from the edge to the display surface where it changes back into the floating InkPad icon.
- The type and position (tab or floating icon) is remembered between changes in screen orientation. For example, you can use the docked tab in landscape orientation and the floating icon in portrait orientation, and the position of each is remembered for each orientation.
- The InkPad is now designed for finger tip use on a UMPC. When you begin to enter your ActiveWord a “Go” button appears on the InkPad surface to trigger the ActiveWord entered. You can also simply move your stylus or finger away from the InkPad surface to trigger your ActiveWord.
- A control is included to prevent movement of the mouse cursor from popping up the InkPad. This should be helpful as you switch between “stylus” and “keyboard/mouse” entry.
- Recognition of inked ActiveWords is now even faster, making ActiveWords InkPad more spontaneous and delivering instantaneous response.
- Compatibility with Windows Vista operating system.
