Video Telemedicine is practiced on the basis of two concepts: real-time and
stored information. Real time telemedicine could be as simple as a telephone call
or as complex as robotic surgery.It requires the presence of both parties at the
same time and a communications link between them that allows a real-time
interaction to take place. Hand-held devices and laptop video conferencing
equipment are two of the most common forms of technologies used in telemedicine.Stored Information telemedicine involves acquiring medical data ( for example
images from x-rays, sonograms and MRIs) and then transmitting this data to a
doctor or medical specialist at a convenient time for assessment offline.
Partnering with wireless 3G/4G carriers worldwide allows access to leading
providers of mobile applications and enables access via handheld devices to many
healthcare-specific applications, including patient management and tracking, eprescribing, charge capture and coding, mobile dictation, drug reference, lab
results, medical imagery and real-time telemetry. Mobile health care applications --
together with voice service, messaging, calendar, email and mobile broadband
provide a unique solution that allows physicians and other caregivers to perform
many of their daily functions more quickly and conveniently, keeping their patients
close at hand. |
