Healthcare Pens

Compupen Technology (Healthcare)

Like CompuPen™, the MediPen™ healthcare-specific pen uses a regular ballpoint ink cartridge and a standard AA battery. It writes like a regular ballpoint, but while writing it creates a digital copy of the document using an optoelectronic sensor.

Healthcare Applications - Digital Pen Prescriptions, Charts, and Information Capture

Pen2Net believes it’s pens are the most efficient and natural data entry system for practicing physicians and healthcare providers. This technology makes it possible for providers to chart as they normally would and to create a digital copy of their notes and prescriptions without any extra effort.

MediPen allows physicians and providers to:

capture an immediate digital copy of patient charts
produce effortless, direct-to-database electronic medical records (EMRs)
enjoy 128-bit high encryption for input digital data from bedside to database
maintain a long track of authenticated, time+date stamped documents, verifying input and reducing the opportunity for mistakes and fraud.

The documents are sent wirelessly via bluetooth to a Bluetooth® enabled PC or server. Unlike all earlier digital pen devices, the CompuPen™ does not require special paper, special writing surfaces, or complex attachments. It is small, inexpensive, and extremely user-friendly. Each pen has a unique identifier confirming authorship of each document .

Scientific and Healthcare Applications

Pen2Net’s healthcare version of Compupen benefits from added services, including specialized barcodes and forms recognition, integrationg with LAN/WAN-based inventory systems, and encrypted communications channels to protect sensitive information throughout all transactions.

MediPen - Enhanced Compupen Applications

Powerful, High-Accuracy Optical Tracking

MediPens feature the same error-resisting optical sensing technology as Compupen. Based on a simple difference calculation, the pen’s optical sensor accurately takes thousands of digital images of the writing surface and interfaces a tip depression sensor into a system that can detect true handwriting digitally on almost any surface.

Wireless Pen Tools for Medical/Scientific Networks

SciPen and Medipen have added capability to recognize barcodes and fields in form fill-outs and to interface to existing EDI systems.

Pen2Net believes MediPen alone will revolutionize the patient medical record industry by providing healthcare administration a tool that all employees and physicians can use while at the same time taking advantage of the automation possible with electronic records. As Pen2Net’s special pens, Medipen features strong digital authentication via a central, secure server system provided by Pen2Net.

Featuring a powerful processor and high capacity onboard memory, the pen effortlessly maintains track of a day’s worth of writing information and forwards it to Pen2Net servers for packaging and integration into existing hospital databases.

Medipen’s capabilities in this segment include:

code-compliant tags to written comments on patient records
patient tracking systems by doctor based on Pen2Net’s authentications services
