DigiHeal: Medical Tablet with the power of RFID

Filed in archive Companies on April 7, 2009

Check this, a Windows tablet PC with RFID involved. Targeted at medical applications, DigiHeal is equipped with a 10.4-inch touch screen, Core2 Solo U2100 processor, 2.0 mega pixel camera, 802.11a/b/g/n wireless, 60GB or 80GB HDD, Bluetooth, barcode scanner and RFID reader.

The DigiHeal can be termed as an edition of the mobile clinical assistant or MCA reference platform developed by Intel. The design incorporates sealed buttons and ports apart from integrated carrying handle and is sturdy enough to survive three foot drops and is not only water resistant but also thwarts dust. Apart from all this, it can even survive sanitizing wash downs with alcohol or other chemicals.

One thing which I didn't like is non existence of removable flash storage (for the reason it could attract germs or liquids) which makes me wonder whether the tablet has been created to survive some chemical war. Another aspect, you won't even find any USB ports and it's for the same reason stated above.
