ADLINK MLC-M Series: Powering the Next Generation of Telehealth

Telehealth has evolved far beyond simple remote consultations. What began as a way to connect patients and clinicians via video chats has grown into a critical component of modern healthcare delivery. It now brings together healthcare professionals and patients, along with medical technologies, in ways that were previously impossible.

As adoption accelerates, telehealth is no longer just about communication; it is increasingly about supporting real clinical workflows and quality medical care, regardless of location.

Today, beyond video consultations, modern telehealth applications include:

• Remote patient monitoring in hospitals and home settings
• Teleconsultation enhanced by medical imaging and diagnostic data
• Real-time collaboration among specialists across different locations 

This shift highlights a critical change:

| Telehealth is moving from communication tools to care delivery systems.

The Missing Piece: An Infrastructure Gap

While telehealth software platforms have advanced rapidly as demands have evolved, the underlying hardware often receives less attention.

Yet, the truth is that the infrastructure supporting telehealth can be just as important as the applications running on it. Systems deployed at the bedside or at clinical stations must be designed to operate reliably under varying demanding conditions, with no exception.

Successful telehealth deployments typically require:

• Reliable operation for continuous clinical workflows
• Seamless integration with medical devices and hospital systems
• User-friendly interfaces that minimize training requirements
• Long-term stability that aligns with healthcare deployment lifecycles

Why Medical-Grade Platforms Matter

Whether supporting bedside consultations, specialist collaboration, or remote monitoring programs, telehealth systems must integrate smoothly into existing healthcare workflows while meeting the operational and safety requirements of medical environments.

This is where purpose-built medical-grade computing platforms play a critical role—providing the foundation that enables telehealth solutions to perform consistently, securely, and efficiently.

ADLINK MLC-M Series: Designed for Clinical Telehealth Deployment

The ADLINK MLC-M Series is a medical-grade panel PC developed to support telehealth deployment across a variety of healthcare environments.

Combining a slim, lightweight design with reliable computing performance and flexible integration capabilities, the MLC-M Series helps healthcare providers build telehealth solutions that are both practical and deployment-ready.

Hygienic and User-Friendly for Everyday Clinical Use

Its all-in-one design simplifies installation and reduces system complexity, making it well-suited for bedside and clinical station use.

To support healthcare settings where hygiene and usability are critical, the platform features a slim chassis, screwless and fanless construction, and IP54-rated protection that helps simplify cleaning and reduce dust accumulation.

With functional keys, a 10-point PCAP touchscreen, and a single-lock screen button, it also provides a straightforward and user-friendly experience for daily clinical operations.

Built with Medical Safety in Mind

The MLC-M Series is designed in compliance with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 standards, incorporating 2x MOPP patient protection with isolated (4kV) RJ45 and RS232 interfaces, double insulation, and 8 mm creepage distances.

These design considerations help support safe deployment in healthcare environments where system reliability and patient protection are musts.

High-Performance Computing for Clinical Applications

Powered by Intel^® Core™ processors, the MLC-M Series delivers the computing performance needed to support medical imaging software alongside hospital applications such as HIS, RIS, PDMS, and clinical documentation systems.

Beyond general-purpose CPU performance, Tiger Lake integrates multiple dedicated acceleration engines to efficiently handle different workloads. Intel^® Gaussian & Neural Accelerator (GNA) 2.0 provides a low-power engine for background workloads such as voice processing and noise suppression, while Intel_^® Deep Learning Boost with VNNI supports efficient AI processing for workloads such as background blur. Together with AI acceleration on the integrated Intel^® Iris^® Xe graphics, these capabilities enable efficient processing across a range of workloads.

This combination of CPU performance and dedicated acceleration enables the MLC-M Series to support diverse telehealth and point-of-care workflows on a single platform.

Flexible Integration for Diverse Healthcare Workflows

No two healthcare deployments are exactly alike.

The MLC-M Series is designed to support seamless integration with a wide range of healthcare peripherals and clinical devices, including cameras, barcode readers, scanners, and other medical equipment used in telehealth and point-of-care environments. To further simplify deployment, customizable function module board support enables tailored I/O configurations based on specific application requirements. This flexibility helps accelerate solution development while making it easier to adapt systems to different clinical workflows and deployment scenarios.

Built for Long-Term Deployment

Healthcare technology lifecycles are often measured in years rather than months. The MLC-M Series is designed to align with extended deployment timelines through long lifecycle CPU support and platform continuity.

For organizations managing large-scale deployments, this can help reduce redesign efforts, simplify maintenance, and support long-term system consistency.

From Remote Access to Meaningful Care

Telehealth is no longer an add-on service—it is becoming an integral part of how healthcare is delivered. Supporting this transformation requires medical-grade foundations that are reliable, integrated, and designed specifically for clinical settings.

By providing a robust computing platform, ADLINK’s MLC-M Series helps bridge the gap between remote connectivity and real-world care delivery, helping healthcare organizations build telehealth solutions that are ready for today’s demands and tomorrow’s opportunities.
