Intelligent Upgrade of Physiotherapy Equipment: Industrial AIO Panel PC Widely Used in Healthcare

I. Overview of Industry Applications

Pain, like fever and cough, is an extremely common clinical symptom. Affected by the aging population and the increasing pressure of modern life, some chronic pain conditions, such as musculoskeletal pain caused by functional strains in the neck, shoulders, waist, and legs, are not only prevalent among the elderly but also becoming increasingly common among the younger population. Statistics show that in 2020, there were already 300 million chronic pain patients in China, which has promoted the construction of specialized departments such as rehabilitation and pain management and increased the demand for physiotherapy equipment.

II. Project Application Requirements

With the comprehensive promotion of the smart healthcare system in China, the intelligent upgrade of medical devices is an irresistible trend.

A leading pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprise hopes to upgrade the intelligent control technology of its physiotherapy equipment, such as simulated massage devices and breast therapy machines, to improve the diagnosis and treatment efficiency and accuracy of the equipment. At the same time, the customer’s equipment incorporates self – developed simulated massage technology and application software. As the control core, the industrial all – in – one computer needs to provide an open system environment and intelligent computing power invocation. As the interaction window of the physiotherapy equipment, the high – definition display and touch function of the all – in – one computer are also essential.

In addition, to help the customer’s equipment meet the compliance requirements of Class II medical devices, our all – in – one computer must comply with the EMC testing standards for medical products to ensure the safety and quality of the equipment.

III. Touchthink Product Configuration

Considering the requirements of this case, Touchthink provides the TPC170 – А2 embedded industrial all – in – one computer configuration solution, which has helped the customer win bids for medical equipment in multiple top – tier hospitals and introduced the equipment into medical institutions at all levels to serve a large number of patients.

1. Intelligent, Precise, and Efficient Control Core

The TPC170 – A2 is developed based on the low – power ARM architecture and is equipped with Touchthink’s self – developed CX3568 intelligent motherboard. It integrates the high – computing power of the Rockchip RK3568 quad – core Cortex – A55 and a 1 TOPS NPU unit, which can quickly process electrical pulse signals, precisely control the pulse frequency and output mode, and ensure that the physiotherapy program achieves the ideal clinical effect.

In addition, the TPC170 – A2 provides the customer with a 17 – inch FHD full – high – definition LCD display screen, which supports 10 – point capacitive touch and touch with medical gloves, enabling more efficient and rapid setting, adjustment, and monitoring of treatment programs.

2. Open System Environment and Digital Integrated Applications

The TPC170 – A2 comes pre – installed with the open – source Android 12 system, which has strong compatibility and can support the operation of the customer’s various characteristic physiotherapy programs. It also provides SDK calls for easy subsequent function development and maintenance. At the same time, the TPC170 – A2 is equipped with network modules such as a Gigabit Ethernet port, 4Г, and WiFi6, as well as a rich set of I/O connection ports. It supports APP remote control and can be connected to information systems such as HIS as required, leaving expandable space for the hospital’s full – scale digital operation.

3. EMC Compatibility Meeting Class II Medical Device Standards

The market access of medical devices must follow mandatory testing standards. From the initial design of Touchthink’s products, strict testing and risk management have been carried out in terms of product safety and performance.
The TPC170 – A2 uses a full – metal shell material and an internal and external shielding design, which can effectively resist electromagnetic interference and help the customer’s equipment pass the medical – grade EMC testing. At the same time, the TPC170 – A2 also has protective designs such as ESD anti – static, wide – temperature and wide – voltage operation, waterproof and dustproof, and anti – вибрация. The equipment has a low failure rate and is suitable for various medical scenarios.

IV. Customer Project Benefits

By using Touchthink’s industrial all – in – one computer, the customer’s physiotherapy equipment can achieve intelligent control, real – time monitoring, and efficient feedback. It has played an active therapeutic role in relevant departments of large hospitals and large – scale health care centers, providing effective medical services for patients and enhancing the customer’s brand reputation.

At the same time, Touchthink’s integrated service chain of self – research, self – производство, and self – sales has a high – cost – performance advantage, which helps the customer reduce procurement and operation and maintenance costs.
