Tablet computers, particularly iPads, have invaded clinical environments thanks to their combination of ease of use, power, and lightness. The iPad Air boasts an impressive 2048 x 1536 resolution in a small package, but with the new 4K video standard rolling out across the land, having only 3.1 million pixels on your screen simply won’t do. Welcome Panasonic‘s Toughpad 4K tablet that features a 20 inch screen with a 3840 x 2560 resolution, almost 10 million megapixels. 4K video has already been used during laparoscopic surgery, but having a wireless tablet capable of displaying such video may help improve collaboration and offer clinicians nearly perfect visualization of whatever is being imaged.
The tablet features LED backlighting, 10-point capacitive multi touch input, and you can use an optical pen to control it as well. It has all the typical bells and whistles common to tablets like a built-in gyro, accelerometer, and magnetic sensors, but being a Toughbook, it can handle a 2.5-foot drop onto its backside and is rated for 26 repeated 1 foot drops. There’s also a Smart Card reader built-in to control access to the tablet among the staff.
