THINKPAD T490 HEALTHCARE EDITION PROTECTS CLINICAL WORKFLOWS

Lenovo announced today at the HIMMS19 Global Conference its first laptop dedicated to the healthcare industry, the ThinkPad T490 Healthcare Edition. Robust, flexible and secure, the T490 HE is ideal for use across multiple clinical platforms such as nurses’ stations, patient rooms, medical diagnostics and executive offices. Packed with rich features, including industry-leading ThinkShield security, the added benefits of a federal-approved FIPS-201 Fingerprint Reader and an RFID Reader, the ThinkPad T490 HE meets regulations and exceeds expectations. Designed to safeguard device access and protect confidential patient data through secure multi-factor authentication methods, the T490 HE is a cornerstone of Lenovo Health solutions.

Highlights of the ThinkPad T490 Healthcare Edition include:

FIPS-201 Fingerprint Reader by Crossmatch offers industry standard Personal Identity Verification

RFID Reader by RF IDeas leverages existing ID badge infrastructure for simple and secure logon process

Lenovo ThinkShutter, standard on both the RGB and IR cameras, physically covers the webcam preventing unwanted snooping

The optional 14-inch FHD display features ThinkPad PrivacyGuard with PrivacyAlert that protects confidential patient data from “over-the-shoulder” prying eyes

The system includes an anti-microbial surface treatment for infection control

ThinkPad T490 HE features the latest Intel 8th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, Dolby® Audio Premium™ and Cat 9 LTE WWAN for secure connectivity across a hospital campus

Weighing just 3.41 pounds (1.55kg) and with up to 16 hours battery life, the T490 HE offers all day power with the mobility to move between environments

“We collaborate with healthcare organizations ranging from small practices to large complex health systems in more than 160 countries worldwide, “said Jerry Paradise, vice president, Commercial Product Portfolio. “Introducing the ThinkPad T490 Healthcare Education was an obvious step in delivering a premium product that enables health professionals actively engage patients securely with greater speed and accuracy.”

Securing the Clinical Workflow

ThinkShield by Lenovo has the most comprehensive end-to-end security offerings available that protect devices, identity, data and online activity. In the medical industry, patient data confidentiality is a critical part of the patient experience and engagement. The ThinkPad T490 Healthcare Edition adds additional layers of security to promise medical identity accuracy. The FIPS-201 (Federal Information Processing Standard) fingerprint reader adheres to a United States federal government standard that specifies Personal Identity Verification (PIV) requirements. Also, the RFID Reader, which can leverage existing ID badge solutions, is designed to facilitate the login process while ensuring clinician identity. The flexibility of the solution means that users can login to any enabled system to access their specific resources.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
