Advantech is launching new systems to lead the way in intelligent health care and telehealth. Their new line of Infotainment Terminals will increase the efficiency of patient care which will be particularly helpful to value-based health care models. Value-based health care rewards providers for positive outcomes instead of volume of visits or tests performed. The Infotainment Terminal allows providers to easily collect, share and review data regarding a patient’s history and treatment. Meaning multiple specialists would be able to share one common patient history and patient treatment information across offices with an easy-to-use medical terminal. In addition to being a great asset to staff and patients for information sharing, the terminals themselves are incredibly durable, are water and dustproof, and come with rubber bumpers to withstand a drop of up to six feet. The usefulness and durability of Advantech terminals means that they will be a sound investment for health care providers.

With the need to provide care for an aging population and the desire to make health care in general more efficient and effective, the utilization of technology will play a key role in the success and evolution of the medical industry. Soon, terminals like Advantech’s may be commonplace in doctor’s offices, hospitals and even homes of the sick and elderly.
