The bedside, finally always up to date.
The Qmed e-Kardex (e-Kad) is a low-power e-paper bedside display that replaces the laminated paper card hanging at the foot of the bed. Patient identity, allergies, dietary needs, fall-risk and isolation status — always current, always visible, auto-synced from your HIS.

What It Is
Built for real workflows, not slide decks.
e-Kardex is a fleet of low-power, e-paper bedside displays paired with a central management plane. Each display is bound to a bed and pulls live patient state from the HIS via SmartWard — patient identity, ward, admission date, attending consultant, allergies, dietary instructions and clinical safety indicators.

The plain truth.
A laminated card you update by hand is a clinical risk — it's wrong almost every shift. e-Kardex makes the bedside the most up-to-date source of patient information in the ward, automatically. It's a small change in hardware that reshapes how nursing rounds work.
