close proximity and can manage all design and development stages – including specification of the tooling, tool commissioning modifications and validations – can prove invaluable.
THE PIVOTAL ROLE OF TABLETS FOR HEALTHCARE
In the rapidly evolving world of healthcare technology, the integration of robust, medical-grade mobile devices are enhancing the industry. MACTRON GROUP, in partnership with Relec Electronics, is at the forefront of this ever-changing world with its rugged tablets for healthcare – which are redefining how medical professionals interact with technology and patient data.
DESIGNED FOR THE DEMANDS OF HEALTHCARE Understanding the needs of the modern healthcare industry, the medical rugged tablet has been equipped with powerful processing capabilities. This allows the tablets to run multiple medical applications simultaneously without compromising performance, an essential feature in fast-paced environments where time and efficiency are paramount. Coupled with substantial storage capacity, healthcare professionals can manage and access large volumes of sensitive patient data efficiently and effectively, from medical records to prescriptions.
SAFETY AND CERTIFICATION: A CORE PRIORITY The tablets for healthcare are engineered to meet stringent safety standards, adhering to IEC60601-1 medical certification. This ensures that these devices are safe for near-patient use, such as in hospitals, clinics, and emergency medical environments where precision and reliability are critical. The safety of these devices goes beyond just hardware; it extends to
ensuring patient data integrity and security, crucial for healthcare settings.
ENHANCING MOBILITY AND DATA ACCESS The medical tablet is not only about internal capabilities but also about enhancing external connectivity. Each tablet comes with the option to accessorise with a docking station featuring USB 3.0 ports, allowing for seamless connections to various medical equipment. This feature is particularly beneficial in confined spaces, helping to maintain a clean and organised work environment. Moreover, advanced data collection tools such
as NFC, Barcode Readers, and Smart Card Readers are integrated into the medical tablets. These tools are vital in preventing data errors in patient records and inventory – errors that could lead to serious incidents.
SMART, USER-FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY AND VERSATILE ACCESSORIES The tablets for healthcare are designed with user-friendly interfaces that simplify the access and management of medical records, boosting workflow efficiency in various scenarios, such as hospital rounds and emergency responses. The tablets also offer extensive connectivity options including WiFi, Bluetooth, and 3G/4G LTE to ensure smooth and uninterrupted data transfers, essential for real-time data sharing in healthcare operations. A modular design adds to the versatility of the tablets for healthcare, allowing for significant

projections, speed-to-market is critical. Partnering with specialists gives OEMs access to a wider talent pool and cutting-edge technologies that may not be available in-house, as well as scalability. Collaborating with outsourcing partners who specialise in rapid prototyping, design optimisation or regulatory submissions, can accelerate the development and commercialisation process. This can be crucial in gaining a competitive edge in the ever-evolving diagnostic devices market.
