Enovate Rolls Out New Video Workstation, Pediatric Graphics

CANTON TOWNSHIP -- Enovate's portfolio of mobile and wall-mounted workstations come alive for children as turtles, ladybugs and other animals in a new line of products for the pediatric environment called Emagination Stations.

Besides the turtle and ladybug, it may be a panda, jellyfish, owl or hippo that captures imaginations, brightens spirits and helps young patients heal.

"Numerous studies have shown that a hospital's environment plays a role in patient well-being," said Kurt Ruppenthal, Enovate product director. "This is particularly true for children, who may have a faster recovery and a shorter, more enjoyable hospital stay when there's a warm, friendly atmosphere."

An Enovate wall cabinet becomes a tropical pool with a friendly hippo poking his head out of the water, a jellyfish smiling back from under the sea, or a ladybug landing on the grass next to a tree.

A computer cart transforms into a happy turtle swimming toward the sunlight, a brown and yellow owl keeping watch at night, or a cuddly panda grinning in front of a tower of bamboo shoots.

Underneath the cheery exterior the workstations are exactly the same Enovate products that the company says offer the best ergonomics, technology, workflow efficiency and dependability.

Enovate also rolled on a new cart for adult settings, the e5000, equipped with high-definition video and audio in a compact, durable package that is easy to use and effortlessly mobile.

The e5000 is designed to meet FDA Class 1 MDDS requirements, and has a pan-tilt-zoom camera, 22-inch high-definition LCD monitor with built-in speakers, codec, SLA battery power and microphone. It can be equipped with a locking drawer, work surface, storage basket and various other attachments for medical equipment.

"The e5000 makes mobile video conferencing possible anywhere it's needed," said Kevin L'Heureux, Enovate's tele-presence product manager. "Its scalability, mobility and adjustability make it perfect for patient rooms, emergency and operating rooms, labs, radiology centers, nurse stations or doctor's offices."

The e5000's 1080p high-definition resolution and 60 frames-per-second provides one of the sharpest, smoothest pictures on the market. Data compression helps users reduce their bandwidth needs and cost. It also offers an advance plug-n-play scaler that allows additional analogue peripherals to connect effortlessly to the codec.

Electronic height adjustment and independently adjustable work surfaces allow clinicians to work in comfort whether they are sitting or standing so they can focus attention on the patient.

Small, lightweight and easy to maneuver in tight areas, Enovate's concave base design and smooth-rolling casters glide easily around corners and across hard floors or carpeting.

Headquartered in Canton Township, Enovate is a leading international provider of mobile and wall-mounted computer workstations for healthcare, office and home. Enovate's scalable, easy-to-use, ergonomic designs feature the best technology to create a flexible work environment that enhances productivity and performance. Enovate has been named by Inc.
