VisioCheck provides a solution to support all aspects of telemedicine in terms of tele-expertise between healthcare professionals, tele-consultation between patients and healthcare professionals and tele-monitoring between patients and medical platforms.’
Use like a smartphone
The device is like a smartphone in features and size: it has a 10x6 cm colour LCD touchscreen, a high-definition camera and a high-intensity flash for recording or photographing injuries and other wounds. Patients can share these snapshots instantly and safely, the firm adds. ‘They can also make phone calls, hold video conferences over Wi-Fi networks, and share data through the Secure Cloud with healthcare professionals or providers.’
The system also includes several medical devices e.g. blood pressure monitor, thermometer using Thermoflash technology, pulse oximeter, ECG monitor and blood sugar monitor. It is also compatible with all other Bluetooth enabled medical devices, the manufacturer points out, especially the BewellConnect devices. ‘Easy to use, all data recorded is uploaded to the patient’s chart automatically.’
