Wow, it looks like E3 2023 has been cancelled. I’m not too surprised, though – the gaming industry has been shifting away from physical trade shows for a while now. Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony all started hosting their own events, and now even more...

In these challenging times, healthcare providers should not only focus on providing exceptional care to their patients but also consider implementing the right medical software for their practice. One such software is an electronic medical record (EMR) system, which...
