Motion C5 is the first product in the new mobile clinical assistant (MCA) category of PCs from Motion Computing. It is a tablet PC, customized for healthcare.
In a press release Intel announced:
The mobile clinical assistant (MCA) is ready to enable nurses to spend more time with patients, do their jobs on the move while remaining connected, and manage the administration of medications. Motion Computing’s C5 is the first product based on Intel’s MCA platform and has earned support from clinicians and nurses participating in pilot studies around the world.
This is a huge step by Intel to build a platform specifically targeting healthcare, enabling better connection of clinicians to comprehensive patient information on a real time basis.

Thank you Vikas for the informative post. I think using this technology will truly change the dynamics of work environment at a hospital. With an ever tightened ratio of nurses to patients, quality and time of attention received by each patient has reduced tremendously. I believe something like this is exactly what we need. Intel should market this product and sell it to all major hospitals. Online marketing and PR is extremely easy. I use this tool called MyPRGenie (http://www.myprgenie.com/technology/) which allows reaching out to a wider customer base. Its very helpful and I am huge fan. I would suggest everyone to try it and use it to bring forward more innovative ideas and products which our society is so in need of. Thanks!
