Cisco Telepresence and Healthcare - The revolution of "telemedicine"

 

It's 2AM and your son who is seven years old is coming down with an intense fever. You immediately recognize that your son has the flu and recognize that with the proper medication, you can treat this ailment right away.

You head over to your living room where you connect to your doctor using your Cisco umi device. Immediately, you are having an interactive video conference with your doctor where in moments, the doctor diagnosis's your son's ailment and sends a prescription to you via email.

We have all been in this situation or something similar. The convenience and power of meeting with your doctor or healthcare provider for non-serious issues such as having the flu or common cold through video conferencing, some of the most common illnesses that most people experience every year, is highly productive and effective for both the patient and doctor where timeliness and convenience are the critical issues at stake.

The solution to the above situation can be solved through the power of Cisco Telepresence. Cisco specifically has a Cisco Telepresence program geared towards the healthcare industry called Cisco HealthPresence. The following video taken from Cisco clearly illustrates the power of Cisco HealthPresence:

Exploring solutions that will create positive and productive experiences for both the patient and the healthcare provider is key to taking advantage of this revolutionary technology from Cisco.
