Hot Swappable Batteries Give Healthcare Professionals Lost-lasting, Reliable Computing Solutions

In fast-paced, crisis solving places such as hospitals, ERs and medical offices, healthcare staff requires technology that works as fast as they do. Providing solutions to patients that helps to get them time-sensitive results. Healthcare technology has come a long way in the last few years, now offering mobile, more durable options to healthcare professionals globally.

Medical cart computers now address long-standing challenges of computers on wheels by providing a cordless, lightweight, and anti-microbial computer system. These computer systems offer healthcare professionals the ability to work continuously with no downtime for dead batteries or battery charging time. Our hot swappable batteries can be dynamically changed while the cart is still on. This medical cart computer continues running for a short period of time as the battery is being changed.

Hot swappable batteries also reduce the cost to healthcare facilities of having to purchase expensive, medical-cart batteries that arent as efficient, are heavier and require more time to charge and switch out. 

Medical cart computers increase mobility over traditional workstations and decrease costs and maintenance associated with COWs. Designed to sustain at least one working shift without adding charged batteries, DT Research Medical-Cart Computers use inexpensive Lithium-ion batteries to combine for 250W capacity for up to 16 hours of runtime. With battery power and wireless connectivity, this computing solution is ideal for health professionals to manage patient information, dispense medication, and work collaboratively. 

Midwest Health is thankful to have hot swappable battery capabilities for its fast-paced operations:

Staff at many Midwest Health locations have to be available 24 hours depending on the care needed, so it was essential to have a battery that could keep up with the operating hours demand, said John Tryon, Network Administrator for Midwest Health. Midwest Health looked at other options and found that the DT590 from DT Research had better battery capacity, faster processing, and was overall more reliable than other computers they tried. Now nurses at the various skilled care facilities are able to focus on personalized care rather than waiting for the computer to catch up. Overall, the staff at Midwest Health has seen improved productivity, better service, and improved mobility with a reliable battery that allows the DT590 to operate anywhere. Midwest Health now has a tool to help make customer service a high priority.

The DT Research Medical-Cart Computer series takes full advantage of advanced Windows 10 IoT Enterprise OS security including Device Guard enterprise hardware and software security features that only allow the system to run trusted applications.

Medical cart computers make data access efficient and easy, optimizing staff time, reducing patient wait time and ensuring workflow and processes are highly productive.
