I second Larry's Apple watch and authy app combination. It has streamlined controlled substance prescribing and means I don't have to pull out my cell phone during patient encounters. Much more 'subtle' to tap the watch. This feature is why I finally got a smart watch after resisting for many years.
Pro tip, however, for new smart watch users: turn off Siri and suggestion features before use. When I first used the watch it asked - out loud - if I wanted to reorder Chinese food (my last use of the phone/watch) during a patient exam! Made for a good laugh and revealed my food preferences . . .
