Clinical assistant trialled
Motion Computing has launched the C5 mobile clinical assistant (MCA), a new computing category created by Intel with support from Motion. The device is currently being tested, along with other computing devices, by Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust.
The C5, which is highly sealed and fully disinfectable, integrates multiple devices, including: a barcode and rfid reader for patient identification; a camera; and a fingerprint reader to improve security.
“The Motion C5 and Intel’s MCA category are the outcomes of research collaboration with clinicians, healthcare departmental leaders and our software development partners,” said Scott Eckert, Motion’s ceo. “But it’s not just about the product; it’s about a greater infrastructure and incorporation of wireless and point of care software applications.”
