Videoconferencing using Telemedicine
Videoconferencing in Telemedicine has proven to be
an excellent tool for educational purposes, apart
from its primary role of carrying out online tele-consultations.
At present, Apollo Hospitals has a weekly schedule
of clinical meetings held across the country. Over 4
centres participate simultaneously in these
meetings, in and as the network. These clinical
meetings range from the discussing of case studies
to the relaying of Surgical Workshops conducted at
Apollo Hospitals to venues in the other states.
Other programmes include:
Relay of live Angiography and Angioplasty procedures
to important conferences and workshops in other
cities
Relay of OT procedures to a gathering of over 1000
doctors
Relay of vital inauguration programmes and CMEs
across all Apollo centres, throughout the country
and to other non- Apollo Telemedicine centres.
Medintegra Go live
Apollo Health Street has indigenously designed an
enterprise application called 'Medintegra GoLive'.
Using the latest web streaming technology, it
facilitates real time, web-based interactive
training.
It permits an unlimited number of doctors or
students from anywhere in the world to log on to a
two-way audio-video presentation using their own
computers. The number of participants in this
programme is limited by the number of licenses a
customer wishes to purchase. It could be as few as
50 or as many as a thousand. In addition, a trainer
can log in from anywhere in the world with just a
multimedia computer and an Internet connection and
carry out her/his training.
