Outpatient care
Regular house visits are hardly possible for many general practitioners and specialists. The waiting rooms in the practices are overcrowded, there is a lack of time. But outpatient care services have also a lack of time and personnel to make doctor's visits as stress-free as possible for patients.
This is where our telemedicine solutions come in.
Our TeleDoc product family includes systems for performing teleconsultation, including the delegation of medical measures, and a classic video consultation. Caregivers can conveniently perform many examinations on site and, in the event of difficulties, clarify therapies and measures with the physician via a video consultation.
We define a video call between a patient and his doctor as a "video consultation". The German health care system has several conditions for these calls which we all fulfill. As a result we can call ourselves "provider of certified video consultations". If the call is between a health care worker and a doctor, we define it as a "tele consultation". Unlike in video consultations, a tele consultation doesn't only involve giving out medical advise but also delegation of medical services and point of care measurements with medical gadgets for diagnostics.
