Teguar Partners with Hailo to Advance Healthcare Technology Integration
Introduction
Collaboration can create powerful partnerships, driving significant advancements and efficiencies. This was exemplified when Teguar was approached by a leading healthcare company seeking a new medical computer to streamline their processes and enhance efficiency by consolidating their current systems. By consolidating platforms, they sought to enhance data management, cut costs, and provide better service to patients and clients. Their vision was to integrate PTZ cameras and computers into a single, streamlined system that could support their fall detection applications. Teguar’s collaboration with Hailo provided an innovative solution to this complex challenge.
Problem Definition
The primary requirement was a robust battery powered medical computer capable of performing the dual roles of their existing cart work and powering PTZ cameras while integrating seamlessly with a Hailo AI Accelerator card. The necessity for such integration came from the need for precise fall detection capabilities, which required high computational power and real-time processing. The aim was to encapsulate the functionalities of three distinct systems into one clean, efficient package.
Solution Development
Teguar, recognized for its advanced medical computers, was approached to develop this multifaceted solution. After thorough consultations, the TME-5940-22 model was selected as the base unit. This off-the-shelf medical computer not only met CPU performance & battery life requirements but also allowed for additional customization. The significant enhancement involved integrating a coprocessing card to handle the specific computer workload required for the fall detection application. Historically, competitors managed this heavy AI workload using separate computers and box PCs, which Teguar aimed to optimize into a single streamlined system.
Implementation
During the implementation phase, Teguar conducted thorough testing to ensure the AI card’s compatibility and performance within the systems. It was crucial to confirm that the TME-5940-22 with the Hailo card could meet the thermal and processing demands of the customer’s software. This process ensured that the final product met all technical specifications and operational requirements set forth by the healthcare technology company.
Results
The result was a sophisticated, all-in-one system that encapsulated all necessary functionalities into a single package. This solution not only reduced the number of systems, but also enhanced operational efficiency and reliability. The customer’s decision to order an additional 100 units underscored the success of this implementation, demonstrating their satisfaction and trust in Teguar’s capabilities.
Lessons Learned
Several critical insights emerged from this collaboration:
- Integration Capabilities: The TME-5940-22 demonstrated its versatility by seamlessly integrating with the Hailo AI card.
