Digital processes are increasingly finding their way into medical practices. The tomedo® self-check-in terminal offers a solution that efficiently manages patient flow and reduces the workload on practice staff. For the physical implementation, bmade relies on MiniTec’s modular profile system—with great success: Due to the sharp rise in demand, the terminal is now manufactured directly by MiniTec.
In many doctors’ offices, patient check-in has now become an integral part of the reception area. Patients check in on their own using a touchscreen or their health card and are automatically added to the daily patient list. This reduces congestion at the reception desk and saves valuable time in the practice’s operations. At the same time, it shortens wait times and streamlines processes. This high level of acceptance is also evident in everyday practice: A significant proportion of patients use the self-check-in feature regularly, which lightens the workload for staff and allows them to focus more on medical tasks.
Systematic design
bmade is responsible for the terminal’s hardware. The company develops and designs the stand and housing to withstand the demands of everyday use: robust, durable, and at the same time aesthetically pleasing. The MiniTec profile system forms the basis for this. This modular system of aluminum profiles enables flexible construction for a wide variety of applications—from simple frames to complex systems. For bmade, this means that the design can be precisely tailored to the requirements of the tomedo solution without having to compromise on stability or functionality.
From prototype to series production at MiniTec
As market demand grew, the tomedo® patient registration system quickly evolved from a custom solution to a standardized product. To ensure reliable delivery of the increasing order volumes, plans are now in place to establish production directly at MiniTec.
In addition to scalability, this step offers another advantage: standardized processes ensure that product quality remains consistently high. This ensures that the terminal is future-proof not only technologically but also in terms of production.
The self-check-in terminal reduces the workload on clinic staff and helps manage patient flow.
The profile system really shows its strengths in day-to-day customer use. A key advantage is its high flexibility: Thanks to the sophisticated connection technology, structures can be adjusted or expanded without additional machining.
For medical practices, this means customizable solutions: terminals can be adapted to different room layouts. Additionally, components such as card readers or hand sanitizer dispensers can be easily integrated. The sturdy aluminum construction is also designed for long-term use.
Furthermore, the modular design enables the rapid implementation of new variants—such as compact models for smaller practices or larger systems with advanced features.
The flexibility of the modular design allows it to be adapted to different spatial conditions.
In addition to its technical advantages, the profile system also offers compelling economic benefits. Its modular design reduces development and manufacturing costs and simplifies maintenance and upgrades. At the same time, users benefit from a secure long-term investment, as the systems can be adapted to new requirements at any time.
This adaptability is a crucial factor, especially in the dynamic healthcare sector, where regulatory requirements and digital processes are constantly changing.
Conclusion
The collaboration between bmade and MiniTec demonstrates how innovative software solutions and well-designed hardware complement each other perfectly. The tomedo® patient registration system is a prime example of a successful combination of digital efficiency and modular design.
By utilizing the MiniTec profile system and shifting production to MiniTec itself, the companies have succeeded in combining rising demand, high quality, and maximum flexibility. For users in medical practices, this means, above all, reliable technology, optimized workflows, and a noticeable gain in efficiency in their day-to-day operations.
The modular design also offers significant economic advantages.
