Expanding Telehealth for Remote and At-Home Patient Care
Overview
Telehealth exploded during the pandemic – at Vonage we saw usage of our underlying video communications services rapidly expand ten to twenty times for leading application vendors. Now in the post-pandemic economy, video telehealth sessions with doctors, therapists, and clinicians have become a normal part of the mix for patients, alternating with in-person visits according to needs and convenience. In addition, medical practitioners who experienced the effectiveness and efficiency of remote telehealth are now expanding access for rural and under-served communities.
But Telehealth so far has mainly focused on a single use-case – a doctor or therapist talking to a single patient. This webinar focuses on new expanded healthcare use-cases that are now possible, including:
- Remote video patient monitoring within hospitals (“virtual nursing”) where a single nurse can watch many beds at the same time.
- At-home patient monitoring with easy escalation to voice or video sessions between the patient and remote medical staff as needed.
- Remote surgery monitoring, today used for training but with the potential for real-time medical consultation with remote experts.
In this webinar, Vonage provides informed views describing the benefits and solutions architectures to meet these expanded uses. Vonage provides Communications APIs – software building blocks – to tens of thousands of global organizations, giving Vonage a unique perspective into ongoing application innovation from emerging HealthTech companies through to the largest healthcare providers.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand changing patient expectations, who now access healthcare across an increasingly broad range of devices, applications, social media, and traditional channels.
- See how technology advances in AI, network streaming, the embedding of communications directly into healthcare devices and apps, and key security technologies, are key for success.
- Learn best practices to cost-effectively build on existing systems, delivering an improved ROI in addition to better patient experiences.
