Mini-ITX: Long Life Industrial and Embedded Mini-ITX Motherboards. A Mini-ITX Motherboard is a solution that offers performance with low power and long-life availability. Mini-ITX is a specification for a motherboard measuring 170 x 170 mm with a conventional I/O shield as used on larger scale motherboards.
System-on-Modules (SOMs)
Medical imaging technology is crucial for enhancing diagnostic precision, utilizing tools such as MRI systems, 3D ultrasound, and enabling remote diagnostics through telemedicine.
BVM’s System-on-Module offerings cater to the high processing needs associated with manipulating intricate image data. Our SOM modules are compatible with both Intel and AMD multicore platforms, ensuring efficient real-time data handling and extensive I/O connectivity for peripherals, including medical displays and cameras.
The trend toward more compact and energy-efficient medical devices has led developers to create smaller, portable equipment, such as handheld ultrasound devices and compact medical PCs. Our Qseven modules, known for their diminutive size and power-saving capabilities, are ideally suited for these space-limited scenarios.
Furthermore, BVM provides essential technical services to support customers with the design and creation of custom carrier boards, streamlining the development process and accelerating time-to-market for new medical technologies.
System-On-Modules
COM/SOM modules are ideal for applications where product time to market and longevity of solution are critical to your business. Today’s COM modules mainly come in two main formats; COM Express (COMe) in Mini, Compact, Basic and Qseven.
Plugged into carrier boards (baseboard), they can be upgraded to newer, backwards-compatible versions as processor technology capability progresses. COM/SOM modules are typically used in Industrial, military, aerospace, gaming, medical and transportation.

AI-based Medical and SMART Healthcare Solutions
Artificial intelligence (AI) is being increasingly used in the medical industry to improve patient care and outcomes. One of the most promising areas of AI in medicine is in the field of diagnostic imaging. AI algorithms can be trained to analyse medical images such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, and can help radiologists identify potential abnormalities and make more accurate diagnoses. This can help to reduce the number of false positives and false negatives, and can also help to identify potential health issues at an earlier stage.
Another area where AI is being used in the medical industry is in drug discovery and development. AI algorithms can be trained to analyse large sets of data on drug interactions and efficacy, which can help researchers to identify new drug candidates and to optimize existing drugs.
Overall, AI has the potential to revolutionize the medical industry by helping to improve patient care and outcomes, and by helping to speed up the development of new treatments and cures.
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence in Medical and SMART Healthcare
Here are a few examples of how artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in the medical and smart healthcare fields:
- Diagnosis and treatment: AI can be used to analyse data from electronic health records, medical images and other sources to help doctors and other healthcare professionals diagnose and treat diseases. For example, AI systems can be trained to recognize patterns and abnormalities in medical images, such as those produced by X-rays, CT scans and MRI’s.
- Predictive analytics: AI can be used to analyse data from electronic health records and other sources to predict the likelihood of certain conditions or diseases occurring in the future. This can help healthcare providers to identify patients who are at risk and intervene before problems occur, improving outcomes and reducing costs.
- Clinical decision support: AI can be used to provide doctors and other healthcare professionals with real-time guidance and recommendations based on data from electronic health records and other sources. This can help to improve the accuracy and efficiency of treatment and may even help to reduce the risk of errors.
- Population health management: AI can be used to analyse data from electronic health records and other sources to identify patterns and trends that may be relevant to the health of a particular population. This can help healthcare providers to identify and address health issues in a more targeted and effective way, improving outcomes and reducing costs.
- Remote monitoring: AI can be used to monitor the health of patients remotely, using sensors and other devices to collect data on vital signs and other important indicators. This can help healthcare providers to monitor patients remotely and intervene where necessary, improving outcomes and reducing costs.
- Drug discovery: AI can be used to analyse data from chemical and biological databases to identify potential new drugs and therapies. This can help to speed up the drug discovery process and may even help to identify new treatments for diseases that have previously been difficult to treat.
AI-ready Solutions
The hardware required to support artificial intelligence (AI) can vary depending on the specific application and the type of AI being used. Some AI algorithms are computationally intensive and require powerful hardware to run effectively.
Deep learning algorithms, which are used for tasks such as image and speech recognition, typically require specialised hardware such as graphics processing units (GPUs) to run efficiently. GPUs are designed to perform the complex matrix calculations that are required for deep learning – and they can be much faster than traditional central processing units (CPUs) at these types of tasks.
Other types of AI, such as rule-based systems, may not require as much computational power and can be run on standard CPUs.
