A Scalable Integration Platform for Smart Ward & Smart Hospital Solutions
As hospitals across Europe, North America, and Australia accelerate their digital transformation, the patient bedside is becoming one of the most critical touchpoints in the smart ward ecosystem.
For software developers and system integrators, the real challenge is no longer building isolated applications — it’s about connecting systems, workflows, and users through reliable, integration-ready hardware.
The MT1566 15.6” Smart Bedside Infotainment Terminal is designed precisely for this role.
The Bedside: From Passive Screen to Smart Interaction Hub
Traditionally, bedside devices served limited purposes — TV, basic nurse call buttons, or static patient information.
In modern smart wards, the bedside terminal must act as:
· A patient-facing interface
· A clinical communication endpoint
· A secure access point to hospital IT systems
· A platform for continuous software evolution
MT1566 is built not as a closed device, but as an open integration platform that fits naturally into complex hospital environments.
Seamless Integration with Core Hospital Systems
One of the most important requirements for smart hospital projects is interoperability.
MT1566 is designed to integrate smoothly with:
▪ Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Systems
· Display patient information, care plans, and schedules
· Support role-based access for clinical staff
· Enable patient education linked to real clinical data
▪ Nurse Call Solutions
· One-touch digital nurse requests via touchscreen
· Categorized call types to reduce unnecessary room visits
· Real-time communication between bedside and nurse station
▪ Telemedicine Platforms
· Bedside video consultations
· Remote specialist access without moving patients
· Improved care continuity for isolation rooms and long-stay patients
For developers, this means fewer integration barriers and a clear path to scalable deployment.
Built for Developers: Android-Based Flexibility
MT1566 runs on Android OS, providing a familiar and powerful environment for software teams.
This enables:
· Rapid application development and deployment
· Custom UI/UX for different patient groups
· API and SDK-based integration with HIS, EMR, and third-party systems
· Long-term software updates without hardware replacement
For integrators, Android-based architecture significantly reduces customization costs and future-proofs smart ward investments.
Infrastructure-Friendly Design for Hospital Deployment
From an operational perspective, MT1566 is designed to simplify installation and maintenance:
· PoE support enables power and data through a single Ethernet cable
· Reduced cabling complexity and installation time
· Stable 24/7 operation suitable for clinical environments
· Clean, bedside-ready form factor compatible with hospital mounting systems
This makes MT1566 particularly attractive for large-scale ward renovations and new hospital projects.
Enabling Better Outcomes for All Stakeholders
By integrating MT1566 into smart ward solutions, hospitals can achieve:
· Improved patient comfort and engagement
· Faster and clearer patient–nurse communication
· Reduced administrative burden on clinical staff
· Higher patient satisfaction and transparency
· A future-ready bedside platform that evolves with software innovation
For system integrators and developers, MT1566 becomes a reliable foundation on which intelligent hospital experiences can be built.
Looking Ahead: The Bedside as a Core Smart Hospital Node
As healthcare continues to evolve toward connected, data-driven care, the bedside terminal will no longer be optional infrastructure — it will be a central node connecting patients, clinicians, and digital systems.
MT1566 is designed with this future in mind:
not just as a device, but as a long-term integration platform for smart hospitals worldwide.
