Real-World Medical Computer Uses: How are Computers Used in the Medical Field?
This is the second article in Teguar’s Medical Computers Series, defining and discussing applications and capabilities of Medical Computers. To catch up on the series, start here to read The People Who Use Medical Computers.
Medical technology is rapidly changing what’s possible when it comes to data analysis, research, detection and inferencing. With faster processing and clearer displays than ever before, all assisted by AI, doctors and other medical professionals can act on real-time insight to find solutions and improve patient outcomes across the board.
Here at Teguar, we enable smarter computing in medical devices and healthcare facilities by supplying our customers with powerful and reliable medical computers, as well as by explaining just what these computers are capable of.
A question we get just as often as “What is a medical computer?” is “What are they for?” So, read on to learn about some real-world, practical use cases.
Nurse’s Station Medical Cart Computer
A medical cart on wheels can go anywhere in a hospital, nursing home, or other healthcare facility, for easy transportation of materials and devices. A Teguar medical computer can mount onto these carts to take computation and data monitoring with you anywhere. Anti-shock ratings hold up to being rolled around all day, and hot-swappable batteries or integrated power supplies make for easy prolonged uptime. Security measures such as TPM 2.0 and RFID scanners for badge identification ensure patient data remains secure no matter where the cart is stationed.

Radiograph Room X-Ray Computer
Teguar’s all-in-one medical computers make the perfect platforms for displaying and managing X-ray photographs. Teguar computers employ the latest Intel CPUs with improved graphics processing, so X-ray photos or even real-time image and video feed are displayed in crisp and clean high definition. Anti-glare coatings let you see everything plainly, even in bright facility lighting.
For even stronger imaging, Teguar’s radiograph room computers can accommodate a dedicated graphics card. A PCIe slot is available to install a GPU for the fastest and clearest display on touch screens 10” up to 24”. Teguar’s medical displays are 60601-1 compliant, ensuring adherence to the highest medical standards.
Heart and Lung Perfusion System
One possible use case for a medical computer is not as a standalone computer, but integrated into a larger medical device. As part of a complex system, the Teguar computer must be up to spec not just for the device’s intended purpose, but for strict medical standards of safety.
In LivaNova’s Essenz Perfusion System, a Teguar medical PC powers an innovative combination of LivaNova’s state-of-the-art heart and lung machine with an accurate sensing patient monitor for an all-in-one support system for life-saving care. A critical device like this needs to reliably maintain continuous operation, making it a perfect role for Teguar’s medical computers with their long-life hot-swappable batteries and electrical safety compliance.
