Telemedicine
Systems for today and tomorrow
New communication technologies are gaining increasing influence in medical engineering, within the context of the continuous further development and refinement of surgical treatment methods, software firm Richard Wolf points out.
‘One of these modern communication standards is video-conference/telemedicine. Here, video-conference equipment represents the communication platform of physicians and specialist medical departments. It facilitates live communication from clinic to clinic, the exchange of specialists’ experience and provides support in the education and training of the medical practitioners of tomorrow.’
When integrated in the teleconference system, it permits ‘… intra-operative, bidirectional communication of specialists (e.g. surgeon-histologist) for high-quality patient treatment with at the same time cost-oriented clinic management,’ the firm continues, adding that the key factor in the core integration solution, which it develops, is ‘… the simple, intuitive menu guidance for the routine use of this technology. Rational use in the operating room workflow is possible only by this interactive operation’.
