Cutting the Cord – Partnering with Innovative Companies to Streamline Healthcare

By: Isaiah Dominguez

If you’ve ever watched a made-for-TV medical drama, you know there’s always a moment when characters must act at almost superhuman speeds to save lives. The ER becomes a well-orchestrated dance of rapid commands, beeping machinery, and mobilized bodies, as the team works in perfect harmony. McDreamy’s healthcare system may operate in an idealized world, but in reality, medical professionals must manage the daily chaos of a hospital while maintaining high standards of care. Doctors, nurses, and technicians are tasked with providing top-notch care even as they navigate technical frustrations—software glitches, tangled cords, dead batteries, and missing or malfunctioning equipment. So, how can we create a more streamlined medical experience that removes these obstacles?

Empowering Patient Care and Efficiency

In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, smooth operations and reliability aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re necessities. Mobile workstations are central to providing immediate patient care and accessing real-time data. Yet, traditional plug-in charging solutions create inefficiencies, causing downtime, tangled cables, and shortened equipment lifespans.

This is where WiBotic’s wireless charging technology makes a difference. Medical carts equipped with WiBotic’s wireless power solutions can charge automatically, simply by being near a charging station—no more hunting for outlets or wrestling with power cords. This innovative approach ensures a fully charged cart is always ready, enabling healthcare teams to provide uninterrupted patient care.

How Wireless Charging Benefits Healthcare

  • Reliable Patient Care: Wireless charging keeps essential medical devices, such as code blue crash carts, always ready for emergencies. Healthcare teams can focus on delivering critical care without worrying about power disruptions.
  • Efficient Workflows: Medical staff can move carts freely throughout the hospital, never needing to stop for outlets. The system’s continuous charging capability means fewer interruptions and greater operational efficiency.

Additional Advantages of WiBotic’s Wireless Technology

  • Less Clutter: By eliminating extra power cords, wireless charging reduces trip hazards and keeps workspaces organized, making day-to-day tasks safer and simpler.
  • Extended Device Lifespan: Traditional plug-in charging causes wear and tear on ports, but wireless solutions bypass this issue, helping equipment last longer and reducing maintenance costs.
  • Greater Mobility: With wireless charging, medical carts aren’t tethered to wall outlets. This flexibility enhances the mobility of healthcare providers and improves ease of use.

A Vision for Healthcare Innovation

WiBotic is partnering with forward-thinking companies like TagCarts to drive innovation in healthcare. By integrating reliable wireless charging into medical equipment, these partnerships are setting new standards for medical mobility and equipment management.

As healthcare evolves, WiBotic’s mission is to empower medical professionals with technology that supports both patient care and operational efficiency. By reimagining how hospitals power essential devices, we can help alleviate technical barriers, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.

Wireless Charging Safety Comparison: 100KHz vs 6.78MHz

WiBotic put two wireless battery charging systems to the test, specifically focusing on their safety when exposed to foreign metal objects. We compare a standard 100KHz wireless charging solution against the WiBotic 6.78MHz system, examining their heating behaviors with small and medium-sized metal objects like screws and scissors. Both systems were run at a comparable power output of 230W and were charging the same lithium ion polymer batteries. We ran each system for around 2 minutes and the results were suprising!

The 100KHz system caused smaller objects to reach temperatures of 60-70°C, and larger objects, like scissors, reached over 100°C—temperatures that could damage equipment or pose safety risks. Meanwhile, the WiBotic 6.78MHz system kept foreign objects near room temperature (20-30°C), ensuring safer charging conditions for robots in dynamic environments.

Another notable advantage of the WiBotic 6.78MHz system is its ability to maintain higher power transfer across a larger air gap, adding extra flexibility for robotics applications. Discover why this makes the WiBotic solution a robust, safe, and efficient option for charging autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and other industrial robotic fleets.
