The big question for folks working in health care surrounds the question about medical apps: which medical apps will get developed for the BlackBerry 10 OS? I suspect that we'll see some initial traction given that a number of hospitals still rely on BlackBerry as their enterprise-level mobile OS. After all, hospitals need the highest level of security on their mobile devices given the sensitive nature of patient records.
I hope to get my hands on a BlackBerry Z10 so that I can take the new OS for a personal test drive. After all, while we all wait for medical apps to start appearing on the BlackBerry App World (now renamed the BlackBerry World), we'll want to know how mobile web apps (like PubMed Mobile, Medscape, and others) look and feel on BlackBerry 10.
I suppose this means that we're not going to see the diagnosis "BlackBerry Thumb" documented into many patient charts in the future.
