HYC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Hypercom Corp. announced that its medCompact has become the first healthcare terminal to pass e-Health BCS (Basic Command Set) functional tests required by Gematik, a German healthcare organization.

Hypercom said that medCompact will be deployed in the second half of this year as part of the migration to the country's health card.
