3 Benefits of a No-Touch Display Console

More and more healthcare tools are becoming digitized due to convenience and accuracy. Taking this technology a step further is the no-touch display console you will increasingly see on medical devices. All professional healthcare scales manufactured and sold by Befour incorporate an ‘always-on’ feature. This feature is already programmed into every scale and can easily be engaged to always be ready to weigh, eliminating the need to press any buttons. The patient simply steps onto the scale and their weight is displayed. When the always-on or hands-free feature is engaged,the scale now exhibits a no-touch display console that enables hands-free operation that is more consolidated, efficient, accurate, and hygienic. These are just a few of the many benefits these state-of-the-art consoles offer medical providers and their patients. 

Data Consolidation

One of the primary advantages of a no-touch display console on your healthcare scale is the options for data consolidation. These digital displays allow you as healthcare professionals to view your patients’ vitals and other information. They offer a safe and sterile option to review weight, height, BMI, and more. These vitals are available with minimal to no contact with the actual display console. Additionally, you have the option to attach the scale to an external data storage device, such as a computer or, with the addition of Befour’s BLE-7 Bluetooth Smart module the scale can wirelessly transmit essential data to an external device such as a tablet. 

Increased Efficiency & Accuracy

Using a medical scale with the option of a no touch display console offers the benefit of increased efficiency and ensures accurate weight readings in the daily weighing of patients. Weight measurements can be wirelessly transmitted to a secondary device, eliminating the need to manually record weight readings. This creates a faster, more efficient process, as well as eliminating the chance of inaccuracies that may occur when a weight value is incorrectly recorded by hand. 

Better Hygiene

One of the other major benefits of no-touch display consoles is enhanced hygiene practices in comparison to traditional touch screens that require physical contact to turn on and operate. Befour’s complete line of professional medical scales can all be programmed to automatically capture a patient’s weight simply by having them step on the scale. By engaging the “always-on” feature, there is never a need for the clinician or medical staff to touch the scale to turn on the device. Since this technology allows you to capture weight without physically contacting the scale, the risk of cross-contamination and transmission of germs or bacteria is greatly reduced. Consider situations where the patient is immunocompromised and must be protected from infections. Fewer touch points leads to far fewer chances for germs to spread. 

Another practical consideration when it comes to hygiene is sanitation needs. With traditional display consoles that only allow for push button operation, you will need to sanitize the device after every use. However, by programming the display console to operate in a no touch fashion, you can cut down on sanitizing due to decreased tactile interactions with the device. You may even save money on sanitation supplies required to maintain the scale. In addition, reducing the amount of cleaning solution used on the display console may increase the longevity and useful life of the scale.
