Healthcare systems around the globe are experiencing tremendous pressure to improve services while containing costs. There is a trend towards real-time, paperless and film-free patient monitoring, nursing care and medical record tracking.
Medical, clinical and healthcare settings have unique requirements for electronic products in terms of sealed units, thermal and acoustic properties, electromagnetic interference control, longevity, certification, and adherence to strict rules and regulations. Certifications such as UL60601-1, EN60601-1 and ISO 13485 ensure the quality of design and manufacturing of medical devices.
Advantech offers the following medical computing products:
In the nursing care process, Advantech's MCAs and point-of-care terminals, integrated with nursing carts, give clinicians and nurses the mobility needed in their jobs to access critical information at the point of care. With mobile computing technology, the quality of care has been greatly enhanced by streamlined workflow, accurate data recording and reduced medication errors.
The all-in-one bedside patient infotainment terminal makes the hospital stay easier by providing multimedia entertainment and communication choices. The terminal also benefits medical staff by providing secure access to electronic patient data remotely with an optimized hospital workflow as a professional diagnosis aid.
Patient monitoring is critical in operating and emergency rooms, intensive care and critical care units, and recovery rooms as it provides a clear view of patient data to facilitate early diagnosis and timely decisions. By closely tracking a patient's vital signs, real-time monitoring systems translate patient physiological data into clinical information. The systems can also be integrated or connected using wireless technology and other medical devices or systems, streamlining medication and treatment processes, and reducing the risk of infection and other complications.
Medical imaging technology involves the creation, display and interpretation of medical images for clinical purposes. Comprehensive instrumentation and software technology are required to create and process advanced medical images of diagnostic quality. Additionally, there is a need for high-quality image display products for X-ray, ultrasound, surgery monitoring systems and endoscope visualization, as well as a variety of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) applications.
Advantech has over ten years’ experience in the medical market, serving the top ten global medical companies. Advantech has a dedicated medical R&D team of engineers, extensive customization capabilities and global logistics with local support.
