HCI has launched its RoomMate televisions designed for
use in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
The new connected television runs apps on an Android
platform, much like a smartphone would, to entertain and educate patients,
visitors, and staff.
The Android-powered televisions operate on an open
platform and will run Android apps written for TV. Developers, including
healthcare facilities, can write their own Android applications to run on the
televisions. Healthcare facilities can download Android apps for patients and
visitors to use to provide education, entertainment and information.
The apps are pushed to the TVs from a centralized
location, giving the Hospital IT department not only the ability to control
content but to seamlessly update firmware on all televisions at once. The
televisions feature built-in WiFi and a whiteboard application to share
messages with patients on their in-room television. Other features include
MediaCare integration, USB clone, and universal pillow speaker design.
“Android connectivity will provide hospital
patients, visitors and staff with a built-in browser, education and movies on
demand, apps of all varieties, not to mention unparalleled reliability.
This is truly the most advanced, most complete, hospital- grade television on
the planet,” said Rick Pratt, CEO of HCI.
