Mobile Clinical Assistance: Motion Computing Reveals Mobile Clinical Assistant Plans
New computing category to address unmet needs in healthcare IT
Motion Computing®, a leader in ultra-mobile computing and wireless communications, today disclosed plans at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) to extend its family of award-winning tablet PC products with a mobile clinical assistant, a new computing category created to advance the effectiveness of nurses, physicians and other clinicians. Motion's product will be based on Intel Corporation's mobile clinical assistant platform design.
"Motion is the first company to collaborate with Intel on the new mobile clinical assistant category," said Motion CEO Scott Eckert. "We chose to innovate in this category because it closely aligns with our tablet PC and healthcare industry expertise. It is all about technology integration and ease of use, with relevant and innovative features, software and design elements chosen to help nurses and clinicians deliver patient care more safely and efficiently."
Eckert today joined Louis Burns, vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Health Group, in an IDF keynote to discuss Motion's commitment to work with Intel in the creation of this new category of mobile computing for use in clinical settings.
"Intel is excited to be working with Motion to bring the mobile clinical assistant to the healthcare market segment and to address the unmet needs of nurses and physicians," said Burns. "We share a common vision for innovative, ground-breaking platforms and how technology can transform healthcare."
Motion will launch and ship its first mobile clinical assistant product in the first half of 2007. Product specifications will be available at that time.
