Telemedicine Solutions

Thanks to the use of video communication in the medical sector (telemedicine), geographical barriers are overcome and medical specialists can provide their skill and services from wherever they are in the world: from psychotherapy sessions and important remote learning applications for remote training of medical staff, to televideoconsulting with the telemedicine system specifically created by Aethra.

APPLICATIONS
Distance consulting for radiology is one televideoconsulting application that is widely used. It means that patients are no longer obliged to travel to specialised centres but can carry out emergency radiological examinations at Aethra equipped facilities.
Other common applications concern the cardiology sector: in some countries, for example, agreements between specialised centres and public hospitals have allowed centres equipped with the Aethra telemedicine systems to be set up. The aim is to enable an ever-growing number of patients to take advantage of this system.

Home Care is another important telemedicine system: it enables care, and even complex treatments, to be provided in the patient's home without the need for hospital stays, for a wide variety of therapies and rehabilitative treatments.

ADVANTAGES
As hospitals and universities become increasingly aware of the advantages offered by distance learning, medical personnel are using video communication more frequently to take part in training sessions and specialist conventions.
