Computer for the Health Care Industry
Motion Computing (www.motioncomputing.com) has introduced the C5 mobile clinical assistant (MCA), a purpose-built mobile device for health care providers on the go. The Motion C5 integrates durable design elements with key point-of-care data and image capture technologies to simplify workflows, ease clinician workloads and improve overall quality of care. Designed based on input from thousands of clinicians worldwide, the C5 brings reliable, automated patient data management directly to the point of care.
Motion included in its C5 design, input from epidemiology experts to create a device with smooth surfaces and an absence of ports and recesses that might otherwise become reservoirs for pathogens. According to the US Centers for Disease Control, hospital-acquired infections annually affect more than two million patients in the US alone, resulting in 90,000 deaths, plus costs exceeding $5 billion.
The C5 is the first highly sealed, fully disinfectable computer to integrate into one durable device the relevant technologies important to clinician workflow and productivity. The C5 combines multiple devices into one — including a built-in barcode and RFID reader for patient identification and supply; specimen and medication administration verification; a built-in camera; and a fingerprint reader to improve security and simplify clinician authentication. The Motion C5 starts at $2,199 and ships globally in May.
