Supporting digital care across the NHS
Wacom pen technology helps NHS organisations improve patient understanding, clinical accuracy and operational efficiency, while fitting seamlessly into existing systems and workflows.
From consultations and consent to medical imaging, Wacom brings the familiarity of pen and paper into digital healthcare.
Improve Patient Communication
Help boost workforce productivity and Maximise uptime when your healthcare organisation needs it most.
Make complex information easier to understand
Clear communication is essential to safe, effective care. Clinicians have long relied on drawings and handwritten notes to explain diagnoses and treatment plans, a practice often lost with electronic records.
With Wacom pen displays, clinicians can draw, annotate and write directly on screen during consultations, with everything saved securely in the patient record.
Key benefits
- Improved patient understanding and engagement
- Better shared decision-making
- Reduced consultation time spent typing
- Clearer clinical documentation
- Supports patient safety and informed consent
Digitise Patient Consent with Handwritten eSignatures.
Reduce paperwork without losing familiarity
Paper consent forms are costly, time-consuming and prone to errors. Wacom handwritten electronic signatures enable NHS organisations to digitise consent while keeping the experience intuitive for patients.
Patients read and sign forms on screen using a pen, with digital ink that looks and feels like a traditional signature.
Why it matters
- Fewer errors and missing information
- Faster patient registration and admission
- Reduced administrative burden on staff
- Lower printing, scanning and storage costs
- Improved auditability and compliance
Integrated with NHS EPR and EHR Systems
Wacom devices are compatible with leading electronic patient record systems used across the NHS, including Cerner, Epic, Dedalus and others.
Signed documents and annotated records are saved directly into the patient record, no printing, scanning or manual uploading required.
Flexible integration options
- Direct integration via Wacom SDKs
- Approved middleware solutions
- Wacom plug-ins
Support Medical Imaging and Diagnostics
Greater precision, less fatigue
Medical imaging tasks such as contouring and annotation require accuracy and focus. Using a mouse for prolonged precision work can be inefficient and fatiguing.
Wacom pen displays allow clinicians to work directly on screen, improving precision, speed and comfort.
Benefits for imaging teams
- More accurate contouring and image analysis
- Faster workflows and reporting
- Reduced physical strain
- Improved ergonomics for long sessions
- Works with existing imaging software
Easy to Use for Staff and Patients
Wacom technology is intuitive and requires minimal training:
- Clinicians work as they always have, just digitally
- Patients sign and interact naturally
- IT teams benefit from plug-and-play deployment
Helping the NHS Deliver Digital Care, Safely
