TAIPEI Taiwan April 8th - ADLINK Technology Inc., a global leader in edge computing, joins AU Optronics (AUO), a leading provider in optoelectronic solutions, to introduce cutting-edge public health computers with hygienic-design into Taiwan’s top medical center National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH). As a response to Taiwan’s initiative for increased digital transformation in healthcare, this is a joint effort from government, academia and industry for progressing smarter healthcare.

As Vice Minister of Health and Welfare Shih Chung-liang said, “Smart healthcare is listed as one of the six core strategic industries the administration has been pushing for. We have been working closely with industry and academia in the fight against coronavirus since the Covid-19 outbreak started at the beginning of last year. And now, Taiwan is ranked as one of the top countries for well-executed Covid-19 response. One of the cornerstones of our work is the protection of healthcare workers on the frontline, and using these public health computers is another step in protecting hospital health staff from infections. We are glad to have ADLINK and AUO’s contributions to disease control and prevention.”

Dr. Wu Ming-shiang, superintendent of the National Taiwan University Hospital, said, “As a national research hospital, NTUH acted very fast to contain the spread of Covid-19 by taking a series of countermeasures under government guidelines, and delivering top care to patients all the way through their recovery and discharge from the hospital,” said Our Covid-19 team was hence awarded for excellent performance. We have to thank ADLINK and AUO for donating 20 units of hygienically-designed medical panel computers, helping us introduce smarter medical practices and reduce physical touches that lead to contamination. We have noted high performance and excellent compatibility with these public health computers as they further help us protect staff.”

NTUH has deployed the public health computers to high-touch locations that require higher antiseptic practices first, including 6 units to the Department of Emergency Medicine and 2 units to specialized Covid-19 clinics. ADLINK’s MLC-8 medical panel computer features an easy-to-use antimicrobial touch screen and all-in-one design eliminating the need for a mouse and keyboard, which helps further safeguard caregivers and patients. Some of the public health computers are stationed in areas where relatives of patients can quickly access information without transmitting pathogens or viruses as well.

“ADLINK Technology has explored smart medicine for years with a focus on mission-critical applications, such as appliances used in intensive care units and operating rooms where mistakes aren’t an option. ADLINK is honored to provide these high-end hygienically-designed medical panel computers to National Taiwan University Hospital,” said Jim Liu, ADLINK CEO. “We’re helping to confront the impact of the pandemic with higher hygiene and protective standards to workers on the frontline. The design of these public health computers reduces the time healthcare staff need to clean equipment, offering more time to personal protection and patient care.”

The ADLINK MLC-8 medical panel computer is designed with high standards of hygiene including whole-machine antiseptic treatment, a medical-grade touch screen monitor and hidden buttons for easy cleaning. Running on a cutting-edge 8th Generation Intel® Core™ processor, the MLC-8 provides excellent computing power and outstanding graphic processing, a system that offers high availability and convenience altogether.

Frank Ko, AUO’s president and chief operating officer, said, “AU Optronics has invested heavily in smart medical applications with our subsidiary AUO Display Plus actively developing display solutions for health services. We are so honored to stand side-by-side with ADLINK in developing this hygienically-designed medical panel computer adopting AUO’s medical grade display. We will continue to develop more display technologies to further digital transformation in healthcare and provide more medical solutions that will benefit Taiwan and the world.”
