Precision displays and embedded systems for life-critical healthcare applications
The Criticality of Clarity and Reliability in Healthcare
In healthcare, every second and every piece of data counts. From patient monitors in the ICU to diagnostic equipment in the lab, technology failure is not an option.
Medical professionals need user interfaces that are instantly readable, flawlessly responsive even with surgical gloves, and can be rigorously sanitized without damage.
Furthermore, medical devices face stringent certification requirements (e.g., IEC 60601-1) and demand long-term product availability.
LMTEK provides a portfolio of medical-grade TFT displays, PCAP touch screens, and embedded SBCs designed to meet these exacting standards, enabling you to build safer, more efficient, and fully compliant medical devices.
Our Integrated Solutions for Medical & Healthcare
Discover how LMTEK's product ecosystem addresses key requirements across various medical applications
Application Scenario 1: Patient Monitors & Ventilators
The Challenge
Bedside patient monitors and ventilators are life-critical systems. They require high-resolution displays for clear waveform and vital sign visualization, exceptional reliability (24/7 operation), and touch interfaces that can be operated precisely with gloved hands.
The entire unit must be sealed and easy to clean to prevent cross-contamination.
The LMTEK Solution
We provide the core components for building a certifiable medical-grade HMI. Combine our high-resolution industrial TFTs (e.g., 8" to 15.6") with our medical-grade PCAP touch screens.
Optical Bonding
Enhances contrast for superior readability of complex medical data from any angle
Glove & Saline Immunity
Flawless operation with multiple layers of latex gloves or exposure to saline drips
Edge-to-Edge Glass
Creates a seamless, bezel-free surface that is easy to sanitize
Power this with our long-lifecycle NXP or STM32 SBCs, offering the stable, real-time performance needed for life-support applications.
Application Scenario 2: Diagnostic & Laboratory Equipment
The Challenge
Instruments like blood analyzers, ultrasound machines, and DNA sequencers require powerful processing to handle complex algorithms and large datasets. The user interface must be precise for setting parameters and viewing detailed results.
These devices are often used in labs where chemical resistance and durability are key.
The LMTEK Solution
This is a perfect scenario for our high-performance components.
For Advanced Imaging & Analysis
Our high-performance Rockchip-based SBCs provide the robust CPU/GPU power needed for image rendering (e.g., ultrasound) and rapid data processing.
They support multiple high-resolution display outputs, allowing for both an operator screen and an external monitor.
For the User Interface
Pair the SBC with our chemically-resistant cover glass touch screens (up to 15.6"). These panels can withstand common cleaning agents.
Provides high-precision touch input required for detailed work with a modern, tablet-like user experience.
