noncomputerized
Without digital processing
Noncomputerized describes systems, processes, or methods that operate without computers or digital technology.
A noncomputerized filing system uses paper folders rather than databases; noncomputerized records are kept by hand.
The term often appears in contexts contrasting older manual approaches with modern automated ones, or describing situations where digital solutions are unavailable or impractical.
The clinic maintained noncomputerized patient records well into the 1990s.
