Medical resources are expensive and scarce, and the rising cost of quality healthcare is seemingly always in the headlines. The use of videoconferencing technology to speed and improve the transfer of knowledge is revolutionizing the healthcare industry. Knowledge transfer is a critical issue for healthcare providers, educators, and institutions alike as the industry seeks to resolve a set of monumentally challenging problems.

Medical Education: These applications include grand rounds, continuing education, and training. Visionality can help create conference rooms that communicate more efficiently equipped with flat panel displays and projectors that are able to show MRIs, ultrasounds, and x-rays to the entire conference room. The electronic whiteboard technology enables the lecturer highlight important features on these images. Not only can we enable the local conference room with these device we can employ videoconferencing to bring remote locations to an important grand rounds. Now smaller clinics can gain the valuable experience being taught in the larger hospitals.

Telemedicine: Highly specialized medical professionals are rare in remote areas. Obtaining a medical specialty on an oil derek in the Gulf of Mexico can be achieved with telemedicine. This technology allows consultations in places where that were unheard of short years ago. Our customers share medical resources from metropolitan areas to rural areas, from hospitals to prisons, and from the best institutions in the United States to third world countries.

Remote Diagnoses: Using videoconferencing technologies, psychiatrists can evaluate patients remotely, monitor drug treatments and help law enforcement make informed decisions about individuals that may otherwise not receive treatment. Further, by linking networked diagnostic equipment, doctors can make basic treatment decisions to select the most appropriate and cost effective options.
