Raising the bar on healthcare and wellness through smart technology

Avalue’s Primary Care Clinic Solution (PCCS) is an all-in-one, multifunctional medical panel PC designed for medical practitioners to use in hospitals, clinics, treatment facilities, and nursing homes. PCCS is designed to strict sanitation and safety requirements, making it suitable for a medical environment.

CHALLENGES

• Improve occupational safety and efficiency. Deploy equipment that are compliant with medical regulations and able to accomplish multiple tasks simultaneously.

• Promote better doctor-patient relationship. Use efficient tools that streamline documentation of patient records that enable doctors to handle cases better; explain examination results and other medical information to patients more clearly to avoid disputes.

• High operating costs. Minimize upgrades with the use of generic consumer devices that have a short life span, complex asset management requirements and high personnel training expenses.

SOLUTION

• Design a computing device specifically for medical use. Revolutionize patient metrics monitoring by having a device that efficiently stores patient records for easy retrieval and review.

• Invest in a long-term solution. Lower asset management, training, and procurement costs with the use of specialized medical panel PC’s powered by 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i3/i7 Processors.

• Use excellent visual and 3D graphics technology. Change the way patients view their results with clearer pictures of their current condition that aids in making critical informed decisions.

Introduction

With years of experience in the medical industry, Avalue’s products have been widely adopted in hospitals across the globe. The company’s bedside terminals, for instance, are used in patient rooms in Europe and the United States. Avalue’s medical panels PCs, on the other hand, are installed on mobile nursing carts to facilitate the daily tasks of nurses.

There was a rising need for medical practitioners working in critical environments such as intensive care units to have a device that met stringent sanitary and safety requirements set by medical institutions. Currently, they use consumer desktops and laptops to go about their work.

While the equipment facilitated daily tasks, these were not designed for a medical environment.

Equipment hygiene remained an issue, putting staff at risk to diseases and infections.

The different devices understandably had different specifications. These were also either constantly upgraded or phased out, and thus had a limited life span. Maintenance was an arduous task that required time, manpower, and financial resources.

Moreover, they needed a device that was fast, reliable, and responsive to their needs.

Recognizing these industry concerns, Avalue felt the need to create an all-in-one, multifunctional medical panel PC – the Primary Care Clinic Solution (PCCS).

A multitasking device with medical practitioners in mind

Equipped with a fanless design, water-proof front panel, anti-bacterial chassis, and a medical- grade keyboard and mouse, PCCS complies with sanitation and safety requirements. At fewer than 22 decibels, PCCS emits minimal noise, making it suitable for environments where an atmosphere conducive to healing is important.

PCCS also has functions highly useful to medical personnel: a VOIP phone, doing away with the need for a conventional telephone; a camera and microphone, to protect the privacy of doctors and patients; a smart card reader, to confirm doctor’s identification card and to retrieve patient’s personal and medical records; and remote consultation via webcam. PCCS can also be connected to medical equipment such as the blood-pressure meter, blood-glucose meter, and Founded in 2000 and with headquarters

in Taiwan, Avalue is one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of PC-based industrial computer products.

The company specializes in embedded systems, embedded PCs, single board computers, industrial PCs, and computers.

They also produce gaming motherboards and industrial motherboards with support packages on Windows* CE (WinCE.NET), XP Embedded (XPe), Linux and ROM-DOS.

Avalue is dedicated to designing and manufacturing a broad range of computing solutions that live up to customers’

expectations, and contribute to a more convenient living environment.

“An Intel-based platform provides customers with performance, reliability and longevity.”

electronic thermometer to conveniently record and store patient data in a single device. An optional second display can be used to show and explain diagnostic information to clients.

For these features to operate smoothly and satisfy user expectations, PCCS needed powerful processors that were capable of handling all these tasks simultaneously. Avalue chose to partner with Intel and use its 2nd Generation Intel Core i3/i7 Processors to accomplish the challenge.

Optimum performance powered by Intel technology

Combining visual and 3D graphics technology with performance-leading microprocessors, 2nd Generation Intel Core i3/i7 Processors boost PCCS performance while maintaining energy efficiency. These processors allow for remote management capabilities with Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) and future technology improvements without the need for hardware and software redesign.

Equipped with embedded 2nd Generation Intel Core i3/i7 Processors, PCCS stood out with its reliability and optimum performance.

Intel innovation gave the device’s Clinical Management Software power and speed to accomplish multiple tasks efficiently, enabling the PCCS to extend its services to other areas of medical operations.

“Intel is a reliable embedded technology partner fully committed to support PCCS,” affirms Jason Lin, Product Manager, APC Division, Avalue Technology. “An Intel-based platform provides customers with performance, reliability and longevity.”

Running on Intel processors, PCCS increased a healthcare institution’s wellness quotient.

Supported by excellent graphics, doctors were able to explain medical information better. With a clearer picture of their medical condition,

patients were empowered to make informed decisions and have peace of mind. Retrieval of medical information became faster and more accurate, increasing the level of trust and transparency between staff and patients.

Healthcare personnel, on the other hand, worked efficiently with the aid of a single, powerful device capable of monitoring and recording vital patient metrics. For management and IT staff, embedded hardware and software platforms that remained consistent over time translated to easy configuration and lower training, administration and procurement costs, enabling the reallocation of resources for staff knowledge enhancement or patient wellness initiatives.

Innovating for the future

The Avalue-Intel collaboration is gradually but surely changing the face of Taiwanese healthcare.

Some major hospitals at Taiwan have adopted this forward-thinking technology and have experienced a notable improvement in operations and doctor-patient relations. Avalue believes that more will follow suit.

“It is our hope that PCCS with Intel technology can be widely accepted and adopted by hospital healthcare personnel and IT staff within the next three years,” says Lin.

Avalue will continue to invest resources to develop medical devices in response to the needs of the future. These developments include new generation bedside infotainment terminals and medical staff professional terminals, all powered by Intel.

The company is optimistic that these innovations will eventually be indispensable to every healthcare institution and every medical practitioner, revolutionizing the way they diagnose, treat and care for their patients.
