Making the Most of Medical and Healthcare Touchmonitors
32
The practical applications of Elo Entuitive touchmonitors within the
medical and healthcare environment are wide and varied. Used with
medical equipment, Entuitive touchmonitors act as an interface, improv-
ing the efficiency and accuracy of analytical instruments, sophisticated
x-ray and ultrasound machines, and cardiac management machines.
Entuitive touchmonitors do not require recalibration, even when the
equipment is moved frequently. The new drip-proof Entuitive 15" LCD
flat-panel medical-grade touchmonitor actually sheds water and is safe
from liquid drops and spills. It can be sterilized with hospital-grade dis-
infectants, which makes it the ideal interface in patient-care areas—such
as the operating room—where contamination may occur.
In the healthcare arena, Elo Entuitive touchmonitors help medical pro-
fessionals in the use of electronic patient records, information systems,
nursing station control, and hospital bed management systems. They
are also the ideal tools for patient education; patients can use the
intuitive touch interface to learn about upcoming surgical procedures
or future treatments for their medical conditions in a self-paced,
nonthreatening way.
Medical kiosks provide information and interactivity in hospitals and in
doctors’ and dentists’ offices. Elo Entuitive touchmonitors are an integral
part of the rapid growth of medical kiosk applications, because the touch
interface is universal and can be used by anyone regardless of language,
education, or socioeconomic or cultural background.
Elo Entuitive touchmonitors for medical and healthcare applications offer
the largest selection of touch technologies.
• Medical equipment: AccuTouch five-wire resistive is the most
widely used touchscreen technology for medical equipment applica-
tions because it handles liquid splashing, aggressive cleaning, and
other harsh conditions better than any other technology—and at a
competitive price. CarrollTouch scanning infrared technology is well
suited for those applications—such as x-ray equipment—that
demand superior optical performance as well as a seal.
• Healthcare: Surface wave is the most widely used touchscreen tech-
nology for healthcare applications. If the application is CRT-based,
iTouch touch-on-tube (no-overlay) technology provides superior

optical and image quality along with resistance to scratches, breakage, and vandalism. For LCD-based applications,
IntelliTouch overlay is widely used, and the SecureTouch touchscreen provides an additional measure of resistance to
breakage and vandalism because of its tempered or heat-strengthened glass construction.
