Avalue Technology Medical-Grade Panel PC ODM: Advanced Custom Solutions & Case Studies

Avalue Technology is an ODM specialist in industrial PCs with a strong focus on healthcare. We adapt standard medical-grade systems to meet highly specific customer requirements.

Many of these projects go well beyond simple modifications, often requiring coordinated changes across mechanical design, hardware integration, and embedded software. Through structured validation and adherence to medical certification standards, we deliver solutions that maintain reliability and patient safety.

The following case studies highlight some of the more advanced customization projects we’ve delivered for global healthcare customers.

In surgical environments, medical panel PCs are often required to function as integrated video capture and streaming platforms, enabling real-time remote observation and clinical review.

Key technical considerations include:

· Integration of a high-performance imaging and video processing module, requiring chassis expansion and mechanical redesign

· Power subsystem upgrades to support increased system load

· Thermal optimization to maintain stable operation under higher power density

· Low-latency, secure streaming with controlled access for clinical teams

· Full system validation to ensure continued compliance with medical safety and EMC standards during continuous intraoperative use

A common requirement in healthcare is the integration of an internal battery system into medical-grade panel PCs, reducing reliance on fixed power in mobile and point-of-care settings. This allows clinicians to maintain uninterrupted access to patient data and applications, supporting more efficient workflows.

Implementing a battery system involves:

· Development of a custom motherboard with integrated charging and power path management

· Battery monitoring and management at the system level

· Chassis redesign to accommodate the battery module

· Thermal revalidation to ensure stable operation with increased power load

Certain clinical environments require integrated authentication and connectivity features on medical panel PCs to ensure secure user access and protect patient data.

This integration extends beyond individual components and requires coordination across hardware, software, and hospital IT infrastructure.

Key technical considerations include:

· System-level integration of camera, NFC, and Wi-Fi, including interface compatibility, signal routing, and internal space constraints

· Development of unified middleware and drivers to support authentication workflows across multiple input method.

· Interoperability with hospital IT systems, including identity management, network security policies, and device provisioning

· Implementation of secure authentication frameworks, combining camera-based login, NFC badge access, and wireless connectivity

· End-to-end data protection, including encrypted communication across all connected modules

· System-level validation to maintain compliance with medical safety and EMC standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2)

These cases reflect how Avalue adapts standard medical-grade platforms into solutions designed for real clinical use. Each project is driven by specific customer requirements and carried through design, integration, and validation to ensure the system fits naturally within clinical workflows.

Throughout this process, reliability and patient safety remain central. The end result is a solution that not only meets regulatory expectations, but performs consistently in real-world healthcare environments.
