That's what I enjoy the most about being an entrepreneur."

Digital Assent's wireless touch-screen PatientPad solution allows patients to check themselves in electronically from the comfort of their waiting room chair and delivers targeted health information while they wait.  The PatientPad helps improve the accuracy of the patient information gathered at the point-of-service by eliminating legibility errors and enables patients to educate themselves by browsing pertinent health information, with the goal of creating a better dialogue between the patient and their healthcare provider.
