Mobile Care Unit is going international

After a successful market penetration, TMA Medical (founded 1993) is currently expanding its Mobile Care Unit (MCU) introduction worldwide.

Designed for stationary, portable use and telemedicine applications, the MCU is a stand alone multi-devices examination system operated and controlled by a specifically configured tablet-PC.
The company reports that the MCU introduces what is believed to be the first interoperable PC based platform that enables the interfacing of bio-signal sensors from different source origins, while creating a homogeneous electronic medical record that can be reviewed and transported anywhere.
‘The Mobile Care Unit is also said to be a breakthrough in telemedicine and e-health, representing the most affordable Office Call Centre with user-friendly remote functionalities; all users of MCU systems can communicate to each other and exchange clinical data – send and receive – on a secure environment,’ TMA Medical adds. ‘Installed on a personal computer, the MCU software enables a remote diagnostic in real-time operation and a second opinion specialist for examination or review.

New in the MCU
TMA points out the following benefits:
- The MCU software manages all devices and assures the following functions: guidance to the (user) doctor, easy interaction based on touch screen and help; acquisition of sensor signals, signal shaping, noise filtering, artefact elimination, storage for evaluation; evaluation of signal cycles (e.g. heart pulse, SPO2, respiration loop); evaluation of personal data limits, assistance to interpretation of lung function, ECG … examinations; receiving and transmission functionalities of the data; user-friendly PC based devices with the MCU tablet PC; and calibration facilities for medical sensors.
- The MCU is a portable telemedicine platform; fully controlled with a user-friendly tablet-PC; touch screen commands of all examination; open environment to most diagnostic devices in the market; customisable platform to client requests; data security – closed system; remote access – export/
import data functionalities; remote access service – remote training/support/ update; and closed system – no misuse, no uncontrolled hardware or software changes possible.
- Possible examination configurable available on the MCU include: 12 lead ECG – high end ECG with interpretation and measurements; non-invasive blood pressure; pulse oximetry (SPO2) - Oximeter and sensor in one; Spirometer - ATS standard; screening audiometer; blood test monitor (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, and ketones); X-ray image viewer; digital images library – picture capture functionality (from a digital camera or USB stick option); urine analysis – 11 parameters (bilirubine, ketones, glucose, blood, nitrite, density, urobilinogen, ascorbic acid, protein, pH value and Leucocytes); and automated haematology interface; Semi Automatic Defibrillator and Ultrasound scan possibilities.
- All the medical devices are PC-based and comply with the clinical standard and CE regulations.
