Emano Tec Inc., a start-up company in Newton, MA, has designed a wafer-thin, wireless handheld computer that can handle being washed thousands of times, according to The Boston Globe.

The device, called MedTab, is designed to give physicians full access to medical records on the go, as they move from patient to patient during rounds. Physicians can also reportedly make notes or dictate records on the device, since it has both handwriting and voice recognition.

MedTabs cost $2,000 apiece for orders of 50 or more. The company is seeking $1 million in development capital to move the device into production later this year.
