Overview

Difficulties in accessing healthcare have long been a common event among citizens living in remote areas worldwide. Providing health services relevant to those of the large continental cities, while also diminishing the inequality in healthcare access between citizens living in continental urban areas and those in remote rural areas, is an ambitious goal driven by contemporary technological advancements.

Technology has been changing the medical landscape dramatically for decades. Digitized medical records, mHealth, portals and sensor/wearable technologies allow physicians to operate much more efficiently while diminishing error probability. Telemedicine is another technology approach that is poised to make practices more profitable, improve patient outcomes and provide providers unprecedented flexibility.

Moreover, medical training sessions and access to high quality specialized medical knowledge has been proven to highly benefit physician continuous education, otherwise unattainable.

Intracom Telecom's telemedicine solution has been diligently designed to support a variety of operational needs, further enhancing existing functionality, easily incorporated in existing infrastructures and connecting major Hospitals with Health Centers located in remote areas with limited medical resources.

Telemedicine services are offered through the technological support of a state-of-the-art video conferencing technology, integrated with a customizable software platform intended for the telemedicine healthcare industry. Every telemedicine unit either in a fixed-based telemedicine room or in a mobile backpack, has been adjusted to simulate a traditional doctor visit and enhance the doctor-patient relationship.

The telemedicine session allows real time monitoring and interaction with patients, as well as provides ability to address timely and efficiently patient problems. The results have been extremely positive, based on physician/patient feedback and the platform's related metrics. Furthermore, there have been notable improvements in key areas, such as effortless access to specialists, increasing patient satisfaction, improving clinical outcomes, reducing emergency room utilization, limiting unnecessary aerial transfers, all of which result in cost savings and upgraded patient services.
