Hong Kong clinic deploys interactive touchscreens for patients

October 22, 2019

LifeHub, a Hong Kong healthcare provider, recently deployed a pair of automated touchscreens to interact with patients at its clinic, according to a press release.

DHS Engineering, a Hong Kong-based engineering company, partnered with ASPIS Innovation Solutions, the Hong Kong distributor for U.K.-based Zytronic, to provide the interactive mirrored glass surface the interactive touchscreens required.

The touch panel components included 55-inch mirrored glass and a ZyBrid sensor combined with a Zytronic ZXY500 multi-touch controller with the 256 inputs necessary for such a large display, according to the release. As 6mm glass was selected for the touchscreens to protect against vandalism. 

The ZXY500 controller  features multi-touch functionality with palm rejection, higher noise immunity and high-speed operation for reduced latency. The reduced size controller can be powered by a single USB connection and is fully Windows, Linux and Android compatible with the ability to communicate with the host system via a variety of interfaces.
