United States – Aiming to reduce paperwork by as much as 60min per day, Motion Computing Inc. has introduced a Tablet PC designed for hospital workers. The C5 is a Mobile Clinical Assistant (MCA) based on Intel’s Centrino wireless mobile platform and Core Solo processor. The Tablet PC has five features added specifically for the medical market: it is disinfectable and rugged, and has a barcode scanner, a digital camera and an RFID reader for user log-on. These features, the company claimed, will allow doctors and nurses to do less paperwork, see more patients and make fewer errors.

Compared with the clipboard, scanner and cart-mounted computer on wheels often used in hospitals today, the C5 is also more compact, portable and lightweight. The basic unit has 3hr to 4hr of battery life at full usage. Users can choose to buy designs with better batteries, faster processors or larger hard drives.

The product is scheduled for launch in 25 countries in May, with a price tag of approximately $2,199.
