Abstract/Notes This is a review of the research into various uses and acceptance of personal digital assistants (PDAs) in the health industry. As technology becomes more powerful and intuitive to use, the speed of uptake in hospitals and clinics by clinicians, nurses and many varied health practitioner roles will, no doubt, increase. Over 200 applications in the medical field are currently available. It is an area that can no longer be ignored.

This article attempts to throw some light on how PDAs are being used today and how chiropractors in the UK can jump on the bandwagon without too much pain! A number of patterns are described for putting a PDA to use in the chiropractic clinic, each of which may be undertaken individually, to gradually allow users to become confident in their use.
