Cambridge, MA (July 23, 2001).

The mySYWARE library provides "database applications for the real world" ­ portable applications designed to create almost unlimited opportunities to improve mobile productivity for personal and professional needs. The new applications include:

€ Patient‹An application designed by a physician to keep track of patient records. Windows open within the electronic form, allowing the physician to record data such as vital signs, allergies, lab work, medical procedures, exam findings, patient instructions, and follow-up tests.

Scores can be tracked over time and accessed by criteria such as partner names, location, score, and date played.

Users can record pertinent data about each restaurant including the address, telephone number, fax, web site, food quality, price range, and special notes.
