Advantech Launches PIT-1503W Full-Flat Infotainment Terminal

The PIT-1503W runs an Intel® Atom™ D510 processor and is designed with a 15.6” wide, projective capacitive touch (PCT) full-flat glass panel. It has a sleek iPad look and feel, with customizable colors and icons. The panel design is durable and easily cleanable with anti-bacterial cleaners, perfect for use in hospital patient rooms. It is lightweight and slim, easy for patients to move, and personnel to stow, and it can bring entertainment as well as information to the patient bedside, increasing efficiency, improving patient wellbeing, and even adding revenue streams to the hospital.

Multi-touch, Durable Function Keys and Full-flat Glass Panels: Easier to Use and Clean
The PIT-1503W features PCT touch technology, a quick and highly accurate multi-touch system. Running Windows 7 or Linux, two-finger multi-touch can be used to rotate, flick images off-screen or zoom in and out. This allows for easy zooming and rotation of X-ray or patient images during a patient consultation. The full-flat panel is 7H-rated. It is highly resistant to scratches and can be kept clean with hospital-grade anti-bacterial cleaning solutions. Function keys are also accessible from under the glass panel and not subject to the wear and tear that can afflict membrane-covered keys. Light transmission of PIT-1503W’s PCT screen is excellent (90% compared to 80% from resistive touch technologies) and the increased multi-touch sensitivity makes it responsive as well as intuitive.

Customizable, Sleek iPad “Look” and Modular Peripheral Support Runs Your Specific Applications
The PIT-1503W has been designed with a sleek iPad-like look. The unit’s color can be customized as can its button icons so that it fits the specific requirements of different hospitals. It supports a host of peripherals: RFID, CCD, Wi-Fi connectivity, TV tuner and Smartcard reader. This allows the hospital to configure the device to their liking, where PIT-1503W can run applications ranging from movies-on-demand and VOIP for the patient, to connectivity to X-ray and hospital medication systems for hospital staff. With PIT-1503W in the room, authorized providers, patients and medications can all be positively identified and matched. PIT-1503W is perfect for family and patient meetings. It is used by phlebotomy technicians to manage the drawing and analysis of blood. And patients can use smartcards to access premium functions, watch movies, order food from in-hospital convenience stores, browse the web, or call friends and family. When not in use, the lightweight unit folds flat against the wall on a convenient wall-mount extension arm.
