Next-generation coloured ePaper for smart healthcare

Advantech has announced the release of its latest innovation: the Spectra 6 coloured ePaper display. Designed to improve digital signage applications, particularly in iHealthcare, this new solution provides superior colour performance, ultra-low power consumption, and seamless integration with existing hospital and retail systems.

Developed by E Ink, Spectra 6 is the next generation of full-colour ePaper technology. It delivers an improved colour spectrum, higher resolution, and faster refresh rates, making it excellent for various applications, including digital signage, iHealthcare, iRetail, and hospitality solutions. The company introduces two new large-format ePaper displays in 13.3" and 28.6" sizes. These displays retain images without continuous power, featuring bi-stable technology, drastically lowering energy consumption. With built-in Wi-Fi, USB, and Ethernet connectivity, they offer excellent versatility and a comprehensive software package for streamlined backend management, data monitoring, and device operation.

The 13.3" Spectra 6 ePaper display enhances hospital workflows by improving staff efficiency and patient care. With digital bedside cards, hospitals can minimise administrative tasks, enabling medical professionals to dedicate more time to patients.

These ePaper bedside cards support a range of applications, including digital record-keeping, identity verification, and real-time patient status updates. Unlike traditional backlit screens, ePaper technology provides a glare-free viewing experience, minimising light interference for resting patients. Real-time data synchronisation ensures doctors and nurses have instant access to accurate patient information, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in medical care.

The 28.6" Spectra 6 ePaper display is an innovative solution designed for hospital-wide information management. The company's ePaper technology allows healthcare facilities to digitise critical communications, replacing conventional paper-based signage at nursing stations and examination rooms with real-time digital dashboards.

Hospitals can improve operational efficiency by automating updates and reducing paper waste while advancing sustainability goals. These ePaper displays provide clear, real-time patient information, allowing medical staff to streamline workflows and improve hospital experience.

The company's ePaper solutions support ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) sustainability goals by replacing traditional printed materials with energy-efficient digital displays. Excellent for applications in iHealthcare, iRetail, hospitality, warehouse management, production tracking, and meeting room signage, these solutions significantly reduce carbon footprints by minimising paper waste and power consumption.

ePaper's bi-stable technology ensures that images remain visible without needing continuous power, making it an eco-friendly alternative that supports global sustainability efforts.
