A new clinical mobile device was launched recently by Honeywell to endow the hospital staff members with a direct link to the digital resources requisite for facilitating more qualitative and satisfactory patient care. This device was contrived like any other Smartphone in shape, form and functionality for convenient usage and hassle-free execution.
Dolphin™ CT50h mobile computer integrates a barcode reader which helps the medical practitioners to interact, accelerate communication with the patients and other medical professionals as well as abridge specimen assimilation to proffer precise and comprehensive hospital administration.
The workforce’s operational role and internal communication is all unified through the cloud furnished by this device, thereby augmenting the performance output, receptiveness as well as security in attaining better patient-satisfaction. This is a holistic and innovative approach to ameliorating the hospital administration process.
In Honeywell’s Product Marketing Director, Sameer Agrawal’s words, “Adoption of mobile devices across the entire healthcare ecosystem will increase. The Dolphin CT50h will transform hospital staff into ‘connected clinicians’ and liberate them from workstations-on- wheels or desktop computers.”
This Smartphone was the synthesis of accrued analytical data and research conducted across nurses and patients, medical practitioners and other health professionals who deliver individualistic healthcare. Whether it is the magnitude of size or the endurance of the mechanism or even just the density of the object, everything was decided after a punctilious scrutiny of every-day situations encountered during the course of hospital administration by the staff members.
Agrawal also opines, “With the ability to collect, access and analyse data without leaving the patient’s bedside, connected clinicians can achieve higher levels of productivity and accuracy while delivering a higher quality of care to their patients.”
The Honeywell solution is based on the Dolphin CT50h mobile computer, a powerful AndroidTM device that features best-in- class imaging hardware and decoding software for fast and accurate barcode reading. With a touch-screen interface, the ergonomic handheld computer provides hospital staff with patient identification and allows migration to a digitalised platform for documentation and record keeping.
The Dolphin CT50h supports a host of third-party Android applications from leading electronic medical record, nurse communication, secure texting, alarm management and clinical support software providers.
With this latest advent in medical technology, one can only muse on what could be coming next. Perhaps a medical smart TV?
