The Panasonic Toughbook H1 with the first fully-rugged mobile clinical assistant (MCA) will be among the highlights of this year’s HIMSS 2009. The H1 will be featured in a HIMSS Pavilion Product Session, the focus of multiple in-booth presentations and highlighted at over 30 booths during the show.

Since its launch in November of 2008, the Toughbook H1 has redefined performance and functionality for the MCA category with six hour battery life, dual hot–swappable batteries, standard daylight viewable screen and integrated Gobi technology – for WWAN communication – in a sealed and easily-sanitized package.

The Toughbook H1 was developed based on Panasonic’s innovative engineering, resulting from its own proprietary global healthcare industry research and Intel’s mobile clinical assistant (MCA) reference design. The device improves workflow and eases clinical loads for doctors and nurses, helping healthcare organizations maximize efficiency and reduce errors.

With integrated RFID reader, 2.0 megapixel auto-focus camera with dual LED lights, a barcode reader, contactless smart card reader and fingerprint readers, the new Toughbook H1 is a secure and intuitive platform for barcode medication administration (BCMA), vitals capture and electronic medical records (EMR) capture and review.

The H1 offers a category-leading six hours of battery life, complemented by dual hot-swappable batteries, allowing non-stop computing while on the move. This virtually eliminates down time, maximizing return on investment.
