UP Philippine General Hospital telemedicine Unit Pushes Frontiers of Medicine

From Business Mirror

The equipment to be introduced can be hooked up to digital medical diagnostics devices such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and computerized tomography scan machines so the images of the patient taken using these machines can be transmitted using the solutions Polycom and ATI are offering.

We are also working towards a partnership with the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital telemedicine unit to support the existing effort to connect doctors and medical support personnel in far-flung areas of the Philippines, who are now using all available technology such as mobile phones, short-wave radio and laptop webcams to bridge the gap between Filipino doctors and their patients, said Emerson.
