The following sections identify some of the envisioned key advantages to these areas, but the bottom line is “more capability, at less cost, with fewer errors”.

 

Brick and Mortar – Traditional Facilities

• Lower cost labor (moving more work to Technology and Medical Assistants)

• Less training/re-training (use of common Tablets and Smartphones, common look and feel across devices, automatic data collection and analysis)

• Fewer mistakes (built in checks for treatments)

• Less things falling through the cracks (automated and manually entered scheduled events with escalation and follow-up)

• Support Doctors on call (remote presence/telemedicine) to maintain a basic needs staffing level and bring in outside as necessary

• Support emergency expansion (“storable” “wireless” “plug-and-play” kits  (including telemedicine) to expand clinic and patient room capabilities any area) – also allows connection of Doctors located anywhere in the world (outside of an emergency area)

• Visual and audio translation services to provide enhance communication between the patient, medical professionals, and staff

• Process Improvements & Audit (through the System’s productivity and analysis tools to provide complete audit trails off actions and a wide variety of collected metrics to analyze, improve, and validate improvements)

• Billing and Paperwork (automatic generation of data for billing systems and storage/retrieval of patient information)

• Increased use of telemedicine/remote presence in patient rooms and examination/test areas

• Improved recruitment of volunteers for regular and emergency situations, with more capability

 

Emergency Medicine

• Provides some information about a patient (name, contact information, medical alerts) for patients that cannot be communicated with

•  Support Doctors on call (remote presence/telemedicine) to maintain a basic needs staffing level and bring in outside as necessary

• Support emergency expansion (“storable” “wireless” “plug-and-play” kits  (including telemedicine) to expand clinic and patient room capabilities any area) – also allows connection of Doctors located anywhere in the world (outside of an emergency area)

• Visual and audio translation services to provide enhance communication between the patient, medical professionals, and staff

• Process Improvements & Audit (through the System’s productivity and analysis tools to provide complete audit trails off actions and a wide variety of collected metrics to analyze, improve, and validate improvements)

 

Patient Health Networks

• Provides better sharing of data and analysis between networked hospitals, clinics, and Medical Professionals

• Provide more online capabilities (patient scheduling, interactive audio and visual “Ask a Nurse”, test results, online diagnosis,  general medical information, patient questionnaires and input for their medical records, patient status, communication with their Doctor and their staff (including pictures), online insurance information collection (include pictures of their insurance cards), set up roles/access for patients and their guardians)

• Audit of treatments and actions for a patient (with fewer mistakes)

• Low cost monitoring and devices for preventative medicine (and tracking trends and progress)

• Pre-approval for certain types of examinations, treatments, and monitoring equipment (which is also at a lower cost)

 

Community and World Outreach

• Community (support for Health Fairs, Neighborhood Clinics, Underserved Areas)

• Nationwide (direct support for rural clinics and  remote on-call support)

• Worldwide (direct support for Humanitarian and other Relief efforts)

 

Extensions of Services to other Industries

• Setup and support periodic, on-call, or Corporations

• Support for Convalesce/Rehabilitation/Retirement/Call Centers

 

Teaching

• Access to remote presence/telemedicine monitoring and consulting

• Access to an Intelligent Adaptive Examination Decision Tree to help with learning

• Less training on specific interface and operation of different devices

• Verification of treatments

• Auditable and measurable actions

 

Research and Trials

• Collection of trial specific and other potentially relevant patient data

• Verification of treatments

• Auditable and measurable actions

• Baselines of patients (before, during, and after)

• Scriptable analysis of data for issues and correlations
