M&S Technologies Intros CustomLink for Smart System Wireless Tablet
Product: Custom Link for the Smart System
Top Line: M&S Technologies' new CustomLink is a unique feature that enables users to customize all settings on the company’s Smart System wireless tablet, so that each user that logs in will work with only their particular preferences for vision testing.
Close Up: If seeing patients within multiple age groups, for example, the user can assign all the tests, functionality, features, and protocols that are required within that age group to a particular tab. Design another tab with different tests and features for another group. Each time a user logs on with their own ID, the tablet automatically populates to that particular user’s tabs and preferences. CustomLink allows eyecare professionals with sub-specialties to easily share the same exam room and the Smart System without compromising efficiency or throughput.
"The CustomLink feature of Smart System gives the user even more flexibility than before. We recognize that exam rooms may be used by different professionals for different aspects of vision testing. This feature was developed to maximize the multi-purpose exam room found in many clinics today," said Joe Marino, president of M&S Technologies.
