The physicians of the Women's Cancer Center are innovators in their field. Doctors often filled out a month's worth of reports at a time, and often filed them more than 30 days after they performed the procedures, with an entirely predictable result of inaccurate and incomplete data. Paper forms weren't convenient. The center was experimenting with Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME), and felt the platform was robust enough to support the requirements of the application's client side. The ability to store some information on the device was a big feature not available to a strictly web-based application that used WAP and WML, or to an email client.
