Dive into digital healthcare with helpful articles and expert insights about a range of topics relating to eHealth and advanced medical technology.
GPU
GPU A Graphics Processing Unit, otherwise known as GPU, is a computer processor chip that is focused on display functions and renders animations, video and images that can be seen on screen.
Software computational load
Software computational load Software computational load represents the amount of calculations that a computer system is capable of performing.
Virtual machine
Virtual machine A virtual machine, sometimes shortened to “VM”, mimics computer architecture and provides the same functionality as a physical computer system. Using one physical computer system, different VMs can be created, ensuring maximum availability of resources.
Oversubscription
Oversubscription Oversubscription occurs when more users are connected to a system than could be supported if all users were active at the same time.
CPU
CPU The Central Processing Unit, the CPU, is often considered the “brain” of a computer where most calculations occur.

Saving Time, Money and the Sanity of your Healthcare IT Team with Virtualization
As medical technology has been advancing at a rapid pace, Healthcare IT (HIT) has faced an increasingly growing demand for integration of computers hosting medical software. While this also introduces a regulatory aspect that I will analyze in a future post, I want to focus here on the integration of medical software and its impact […]
Hybrid O.R., Integrated O.R., Digital O.R.: The Differences (and Similarities) of these Types of Operating Rooms
It seems that nowadays there are hundreds of buzz words to describe technologically advanced operating rooms but very few solid answers about what they all mean. Just talking about how we were going to write this post lead to a number of heated discussions within our team about the right way to define these terms!

The Types of Medical Robots in Use Today and in the Future
Much of the technology humans develop has been and will be created out of the desire to go beyond our natural abilities. Computers, for example, were developed to automate mathematical calculations at speeds that far exceeded that which even the brightest brains were capable. From this need to surpass what we were naturally born to […]
The Future Impact of 5G in Healthcare
Recently, the German state of North Rhein-Westphalia created the ‘Competence Center 5G.NRW’ to help push the state into the lead market for 5G. This initiative aims to reduce technical entry barriers for companies, develops the economic potential for vertical markets – such as automotive and mobility, energy, food and agriculture, smart cities, healthcare and manufacturing […]
