Telemedicine

Telemedicine has become an amazing new tool for patients and medical professionals. During the peak of the pandemic, practices across the country became predominantly telemedicine, however, in order to benefit from telemedicine, it is necessary to have a high-speed internet connection.

Broadband internet enables interactive video that allows patients and medical providers to see each other, adds the capability to perform visual medication reconciliation, lets doctors review test results via screen share capabilities and even allows them to conduct parts of a physical exam. It lets patients ask quick questions securely without having to travel to a medical facility and lets doctors monitor patients in real time. It can also extend to locations where doctors are in short supply.

The near future. A better place.

It’s not what we create, but why. What is even more incredible than the future tech, is what the creations make possible. Take a look at tech that will truly change the way we connect and interact with one another and the world around us.

Remote Diagnostics

Mobile services allow physicians to monitor patient status information from anywhere in real-time. The technology platform taps into the hospital system and provides waveform data sets such as heart beat, vital signs and imaging data via a secure connection between the hospital and doctor.

Intelligent Virtual Agent Hospital Interface

The AI Agent provides an interface for conversational AI technology, and can be interacted via robotics, mobile devices, VR/AR, a video wall, or holographics. The AI Agent is an in-home companion that provides social interaction, around the clock monitoring, and it interfaces with the complex system of care at the hospital. The agent is personal, fully knowledgeable about the patient’s treatments, needs, and temperaments, and strikes a balance between the needed professionalism of the hospital and the comfort of the home.

Networked Healthcare and Smart Cities

Shared patient data between the home, hospital, and other care facilities gives every healthcare worker a fully informed and complete profile of each patient. Sensors in the city infrastructure monitor dust, pollen, and pollution levels, and patients consult this data to make the best daily health decisions. For those aging in place, in-home sensor alerts help safety-related situations such as when a door is left open or a stove is overheating.
