Current hospital overbed tables have significant user experience issues which inhibit the independence of patients and frustrate medical staff. With Alta, the overbed table is re-designed into a reliable product system that provides smooth and uncomplicated user interactions, while meeting the hygiene and cost requirements of the medical environment. The system allows hospitals to hand pick the features that will best suit the needs of their patients, while also considering the workflow of their staff.
