Keep Bacteria Away with the Handheld Hospital Computer
Handheld Hospital Computer
Hospitals are difficult environments for technology. A major source of bacteria transmission is through the use of portable digital devices and computers. The Handheld Hospital Computer helps to fight this problem by including special materials that eliminate bacteria transmission.
This is a handheld computer from socket mobile specifically designed for healthcare facilities and other facilities where excess bacteria is a concern.
The case is made of antimicrobial materials which is designed to protect against the spread of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (try saying that fast 5 times in a row 
). So basically it helps resist bacteria strains from spreading as a result of using this gadget.
The company claims that lab tests show the device brings about a more than 99 percent reduction in staph bacteria in a 24 hour period.
This handheld computer uses the windows mobile 6.1 operating system, is durable, lightweight and has an ergonomic handheld design. It is specifically designed for healthcare applications at the point of care. Maybe this is the gadget we need to reform and improve the cost structure of healthcare ?
This anti bacterial gadget is designed for the healthcare industry. But I can tell you that I would not be surprised at all (in fact lets make this an official prediction of GadgetGnome.com) if we see more and more gadgets come STANDARD with antibacterial coatings whether it be cell phones or computer mice. It just makes common sense given how easily bacteria can spread with electronic devices. Plus the recent Swine Flu scare makes anti bacterial gadgets even more appropriate, especially if the pandemic becomes more serious in the years ahead.
Technology and innovation is fast moving, but the laws of science and bacteria transmission are likely to remain the same. Use the handheld bacteria resistant hospital computer if you want to minimize the chance for bacteria transmission.
Advantages of the handheld hospital computer:
- helps eliminate and reduce bacteria transmission among computer users
- portable and easy to use
- durable and ideal for heavy usage
- replacable outer protective casing
Disadvantages of the handheld hospital computer:
- Somewhat dated given current technology trends
- Outdated operating system.
If bacteria transmission is a concern then the handheld hospital computer is worth a look.
