The medical market in Russia is a strong one. Estimates on the internet place the market between $2.5 and $6 billion USD depending on whether one considers the entire market, or only looks at medical devices. Annual growth estimates likewise range between 8 to 15%. There is a growing trend in Russia towards modernization and the use of advanced mobile medical solutions. Local system integrators looking to get reliable products to market fast with ongoing support and service can benefit by choosing an experienced solution provider such as Advantech. Such is the case for Bronislav Gorelik, President of MCS, a Russian system integrator. MCS has become a focused channel partner of Advantech, a privilege which allows them to reap valuable returns on investment by tapping into Advantech’s knowledgebase and product offerings. Mr. Gorelik said, "In recent years, Advantech has devoted a great deal of research and collaboration efforts in the medical industry, especially in the mobile solution area, and it is very gratifying that the development of hospital services and medical equipment is inspired and driven by information technology."
The partnership recently delivered an outstanding solution at the L.G. Sokolov Memorial Hospital ¹122, the leading hospital in Russia with more than 400 physicians and 700 mid-level health care professionals. MCS together with Advantech put together a complete trend-setting mobile medical solution for the hospital. The solution, which has become a benchmark for other hospitals in the country, featured an integrated computerized nursing cart combined with Advantech’s AMiS-60 medical-grade computer, a PDC-170 medical-grade display and the MICA-101 mobile clinical assistant. The combination of technologies works seamlessly in the hospital, and they connect to existing information systems with ease, greatly improving efficiency and effectiveness of the hospital’s workflow. Real-time access to data at the point-of-care improves patient and doctor experiences. MICA-101 is lightweight and portable enough to complement nurses on rounds, doing away with paper-based records; PDC-170 offers a large, high-contrast LCD perfect for imaging applications, and AMiS-60 on a computerized nursing cart can be used for applications such as drug administration or patient consultations, and so on without having to go back and forth between dispensary, nursing station, and patient.
Wen-Ta Chiu, Minister for the Department of Health, Executive Yuan, Taiwan, visited L.G Sokolov Memorial Hospital and was highly impressed by the high-tech deployment in a medical institution on such a scale.
Advantech is a leader in the mobile medical solutions market, as well as having extensive experience in providing total solutions for a diverse array of medical applications to various hospitals worldwide that include: interactive information, self check-in, smart phone clinical status inquiry, intelligent medical carts, bedside infotainment, and patient dialysis information systems. Advantech’s know-how and trusted medical-grade solutions combined with channel partner MCS’s ability to service and deploy on the ground are an unbeatable combination.
Advantech considers it a great privilege to be able to collaborate with MCS and the L.G. Sokolov Memorial Hospital, following its mission of "Enabling an Intelligent Planet." As a benchmark solution, the experience of L.G. Sokolov and the focused channel partnership between Advantech and MCS will lead the way for other medical care facilities in Russia to deploy outstanding solutions, and in doing so improve the quality of healthcare and patient treatment.
