The Panasonic Toughbook H1 Mobile Clinical Assistant is a mobile lightweight computer used by nurses and doctors to electronically monitor and update patients’ health records. The technology connects wirelessly to a hospital’s server. It is light weight and also has a camera built into it. The operating system is based on Windows.
