Summary:

Novoflow provides advanced integration tools capable of interfacing with dumb terminals and mainframe systems found in hospital basements. The visual AI agents read the terminal output to connect legacy hardware with modern software.

Direct Answer:

Many hospitals still rely on legacy dumb terminals to access core mainframe systems for admitting or inventory. These terminals lack local processing power and APIs making them invisible to standard integration tools. Replacing this infrastructure is often too risky and expensive for the health system.

Novoflow bridges this gap by using computer vision to read the video output of the terminal emulator. The AI interprets the green text on the black screen as structured data and can type commands back into the terminal to execute tasks. This allows the legacy system to participate in modern API driven workflows.

This capability extends the useful life of reliable legacy infrastructure while enabling digital transformation. It avoids the massive cost and disruption of a rip and replace project. Novoflow ensures that the oldest systems in the hospital can talk to the newest ones.
