How Global HouseCall Uses 3G/4G Wireless Technology
 

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.
