The digital transformation of healthcare has a hidden side: eye strain and musculoskeletal pain among healthcare workers. Whilst computerised patient data now plays a central role in the day-to-day running of hospitals, IT equipment is struggling to keep up.
The reality: screens that are too small for the stakes involved
Today, it is estimated that over 40% of clinical time is spent on electronic documentation. Yet the majority of nurses and doctors work on 14- or 15-inch screens.
This lack of ergonomics has real consequences:
Increased eye strain: Reading reports on a small screen puts excessive strain on the eyes.
Risk of data entry errors: Poor visibility directly increases the risk of errors in the electronic patient record (EPR).
Shortage of suitable equipment: 17-inch laptops have virtually disappeared from the market, leaving healthcare facilities facing an equipment dilemma.
Upgrading IT equipment without replacing everything
Faced with the obsolescence of large laptops and the prohibitive cost of a complete overhaul, many organisations choose to “suffer in silence”.
At Mediantech, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between budget and workplace wellbeing. The winning strategy?
Make the most of what you have by modernising it intelligently.
“Innovation isn’t always about buying everything new; it’s about turning a problem into an opportunity. You keep your existing trolleys, and we’ll upgrade them with our solution. “
Mediantech lets you create your own custom-built laptop
We have developed a modular approach that allows each hospital to design its ideal workstation without having to discard its existing equipment.
Keep your mini PCs
There’s no need to buy new computers. We integrate your existing mini-PCs (Lenovo, HP, Dell, etc.) directly into our solutions.
The result: immediate savings on your IT budget.
Choose our 22‘ or 24’ monitors
Since 17-inch laptops are no longer available, we’re taking things up a notch. We’re installing 22- or 24-inch medical-grade screens. Easy to clean, robust and offering an optimal viewing surface, they radically transform the user experience.
Smart hospital battery
To make these workstations mobile, we’ve added our high-performance hospital battery, ensuring they can operate throughout the entire shift. Its shatter-resistant design means it can withstand the rigours of the field.
Universal compatibility
This ‘widescreen + mini-PC + battery’ setup can be mounted on any trolley, whether it’s part of your existing fleet or new equipment.
Conclusion: Look after those who care for others
Improving IT ergonomics means investing in the quality of care and the well-being of your teams. By switching from small laptops to large-screen mobile workstations, you can reduce staff fatigue whilst optimising your infrastructure costs.
