Role Of Intel® Processor-Based Tablets In Transforming Mobile Healthcare

Secure Mobile Computing is fast becoming the primary tool for proactively taking healthcare beyond the hospital to the people. This is accomplished by extending healthcare education and disease surveillance into as many communities as possible. Imagine a mobile healthcare provider who visits patients in crowded urban settings, remote village clinics and private homes. His primary tool is an Intel based tablet with a 10- hour battery life that enables him to work all day without worry. he begins the day by login in to the tablet by Two-Factor authentication then downloading and reviewing patients schedule. he then reviews the training materials and educational videos to prepare for his visits.

Using the built-in GPS , the care provider navigates to his first visit and pulls up a patients records via voice commands and touch screens. If the tablet is not currently online, a recently synched version of the records is pulled up in offline mode from a securely encrypted Intel SSD with in the tablet. The care provider then walks through an Assessment questionnaire with the family and discovers that the patients daughter has had a cough for the last 2 months. He uses the tablet to show videos to the family about infectious disease and other concerns for childhood chronic cough.

Educating patients to better care for themselves is huge challenge in many regions which makes it extremely valuable to have a powerful device that can store and display educational material. After watching the video , the care provider concerns the clinical support app and determine a consultation is needed. He initiates a real time video conference on the tablet to engage the remote clinician , who discusses the daughter condition with the family and conducts a test using a pulse oximeter to the tablet. The results are transmitted to the remote clinician in real time who prescribes medication to treat the cough and order the chest X-ray.The care-provider discuss the results with the family and sends the results to the patients primary care physician.

Intel Mobile healthcare

This just one example of how Intel processor based tablets can make difference in mobile healthcare delivery in countries with developing healthcare networks. Intel processor based-tablets have following capabilities that makes them unique which includes :
  • Extensive software compatibility.
  • large form factor.
  • Superior security.
  • Multitasking performance.
The capabilities delivers a better experience for patients, Care provider and Government health agencies. Patients receive a better experience when viewing and interacting educational materials on the tablets large touch screens.While care providers are able to review information and enter data much faster due to large screen , voice input and other peripheral devices. Government agencies can better allocate resources due to offline data which is securely stored on the tablet and later synced to backend services for analysis.
Intel Processor based tablets contains powerful security technologies such as Intel Identity protection technology, trusted platform module and Intel Anti-Theft Technology.
