Medical-Grade Touchscreens for Medical Devices

Benefits of touchscreens for medical devices & medical settings

Medical-grade touch solutions and healthcare kiosks have multiple applications, from bedside devices to monitor patient vitals and medical kiosks used within surgeries or treatment rooms.

There are a number of benefits to installing medical-grade touchscreen monitors in busy medical settings. These touch solutions can:

• provide a better patient and staff experience, with simple-to-use interfaces and shorter wait times
• free up busy staff to focus on more complex processes and interactions
• increase patient agency, with self-check-in kiosks for healthcare allowing for easy appointment check-in
• prevent unauthorised personnel from altering patient details or accessing sensitive data with fingerprint recognition technology
• synchronise essential patient information across multiple devices throughout the medical setting.
