In recent years cost has been a major driving factor in the health care sector, with downward pressure on budgets driving the advancement in technology, which in turn has resulted in better patient care. These conditions have led the PC architecture towards being the platform of choice, as it offers a versatile, cost effective and quick to market solution for more limiting proprietary based computer hardware and operating software design.

Captec’s MD and Chief Technology Officer said “Medical manufacturers can’t risk ignoring this technology particularly because it’s so widely adopted in Asia where companies are increasingly pushing into global markets.”

This webinar is aimed at educating professionals by showing how the challenges faced by the health care sector can be addressed by adopting a PC based COTS computing platform. The webinar will also give an overview of Microsoft’s complete value stack from Embedded Operating System through to servers for remote device management as well as content from Intel on their embedded processor roadmap focusing on the impact of multi-core and low power Intel® Atom™ processors and the benefits of Intel® Architecture in medical equipment.
