I'm working on a proposal that involves capturing handwriting -- not recognizing it, just capturing it -- in a clinical trial setting, where the doctor is "facing" a patient via video conference. (There would be forms with check boxes as well.) The team is debating how to do this. On the one hand, we don't need a tablet PC, because it's not a portable environment, so a plain digitizing tablet connected to a bigger PC seems better. But this would mean giving up the unified presentation-input-feedback arrangement, forcing doctors (of all people) to write while looking at a monitor to see what they're writing. This scenario worries me. (Another factor is that the examiner is meant to maintain eye contact with the subject.)
Is there any research on non-artists using digitizing tablets for handwritten input combined with forms in this type of setting? Any strong opinions on the matter?
