The only extra hardware required to run SmartFlow is either a computer or an iPad. Normally, you'll require one or more iPads (see how to decide how many iPads you'll need here) and a TV mounted in each treatment area you require a whiteboard in. Also, it will be sufficient to have a minimal configuration with wi-fi support in your practice.
