Voalt app to expand to iPad

Health IT company Voalté has announced that its point-of-care application, Voalté One, will be available on the Apple iPad platform.

Voalté One currently consolidates voice, alarm and text functions on the iPhone platform, enabling users to send and receive text messages, make voice calls and receive critical care alarms on the iPhone. Voalté will offer the iPad Development Partner program to its existing client hospitals and a few additional hospitals interested in exploring the use of the iPad in healthcare, according to the Sarasota, Fla.-based company.

“We feel the iPad will be great tool for healthcare clinicians,” said Trey Lauderdale, vice president of innovation for Voalté. “While this is not necessarily a nurse’s only device, the increased screen size will be beneficial for physicians and other clinicians who want to connect with the EMR, view medical images, make diagnosis and educate the patient.”

The Voalté One Application is expected to be available for the iPad by Apple’s shipment date in late March.
