The result was the adoption of the VSee Telemedicine Solution. After considering the importance of security and low bandwidth video for connecting doctors and patients online, HMC searched for a flexible platform that could be rapidly scaled up. Swati Verma, Sales and Marketing Manager Qatar at Allarch Healthcare Technalytics, said that HMC initially used Microsoft Lync followed by Skype for Business and Cisco Video Conferencing, before settling on VSee’s Video Telemedicine Solution.

Deploying telemedicine solutions enhances point-of- care services This way patients do not have to lose time in transit. A telemedicine solution enables a stroke specialist to do an exam with a remote-control camera and to prescribe medication from the patient’s nearest healthcare facility. Each minute of untreated stroke means irreparable loss of brain tissue and possibly death. These solutions enable specialists to guide general practitioners through delicate procedures via live webcam video streams.Īnother example is stroke treatment which is extremely time-sensitive. Instead, care can be provided by other hospitals using telemedicine solutions. Telemedicine is key to overcoming geographical barriers by providing medical assistance to patients who lack access to healthcare services and medical specialists.įor example, high-risk infants who require specialist neonatal care in the form of resuscitation procedures, can avoid costly, time-consuming transfers to specialist hospitals.
