Based on an 80-port Draco tera compact KVM matrix switch, a system was designed by CHW in conjunction with BlackRock Neuromed, a specialist manufacturer of EEG and LTM equipment, that would allow 24/7 monitoring of patient rooms from the control room and nurse stations on the wards. In addition to the room-based equipment, the system supports several portable monitoring trolleys that can be quickly set up wherever needed and controlled remotely.
The matrix switch, computers and support equipment were installed in a main server room to maximize reliability and security. In the Epilepsy Monitoring Control Room observers use personal workstations (keyboard, mouse, two monitors) and wall-mounted screens that provide latency-free access to all central computers and monitoring cameras throughout the hospital.
