From a pure hardware perspective, biomedical folks tend to fully depreciate a piece of equipment in five years according to standard depreciation tables. Useful life in which the equipment can be used can extend well beyond this timeframe. The eko hardware is customizable. As such, it can last for many years. Future modifications may involve greater miniaturization, but existing hardware is expected to work with future software applications of this product.
Growth is really more an issue of running connections rather than adding workstations.
There is really no limit to the number of clinical workstations. The system can grow as you grow, both within and among locations. The server capacity can be configured to meet a wide range of needs. This is due to the architecture and the elegance of the design. Once the network has been established, it is easy to add additional clinical workstations or pods.
