Dell, Intel, and Motion Computing have collaborated to launch a service to assess, design, and validate the quality and coverage of wireless healthcare networks.
The Mobile Point of Care wireless assessment service enables healthcare providers to assess whether their wireless network is reliable and can provide 100% coverage and 24/7 access to patient information.
James Coffin, vice president and general manager of healthcare and life sciences at Dell, said: "In the world of healthcare, having secure and constant wireless connectivity is critical to patient safety. Today's hospitals are complex technology environments with many users on a variety of mobile devices that are continually moving from room to room. Making a service like this that helps ensure seamless connectivity with interoperability support is key to efficiently delivering high-quality healthcare."
Using mobile technology for patient care is a growing trend in the healthcare sector. According to research firm Kalorama Information, 80% of hospitals will have a wireless network by 2010, investing close to $10 billion in the next five years.
