Teleconsultations or televisits in outpatient intensive care enable rapid and location-independent medical care – directly in the patient’s home environment or in specialized shared living arrangements. This allows the patient’s health to be stabilized and hospital admissions to be avoided.
Furthermore, the assessment of potential according to IPReG and AKI guidelines is facilitated by the use of telemedicine in outpatient intensive care.
Televisits in outpatient intensive care enable fast and location-independent medical care.
Televisits in outpatient intensive care enable fast and location-independent medical care.
Through televisits in outpatient intensive care, specialists or respiratory therapists are not only available for consultations more quickly, but they also reduce unnecessary transport routes through telemedicine-based care of ventilated patients.
Through the integration of various medical devices, physicians receive comprehensive measurements and precise information for assessing weaning potential and optimizing therapy – all in accordance with IPReG and AKI guidelines.¹
Telecare improves communication between nurses, doctors and therapists, enabling quick and coordinated therapy decisions and relieving the burden on staff.

In contrast to a “video consultation”, which connects doctor and patient directly, a “teleconsultation” refers to professional communication between nurse and telemedicine doctor.
In out-of-hospital intensive care (OHC), it is often crucial that not only a video image of the patient is available, but that diagnostics are enhanced by medical devices in order to ensure precise and efficient care.
Our medical rolling stand or mobile workstation “TeleDoc”-Mobile” therefore integrates various medical devices. The system can be used for routine patient visit documentation. for example in the Connext Vivendi systems, myneva Heimbas, Godo, Develop Senso, DM7, Cairful, C&S Managing Care, DAN etc., as well as for conducting virtual doctor visits with the attending specialist.
A second screen is available for the patient on the back, allowing the telemedicine doctor to control the camera remotely. Ultimately, a trusting (video) conversation between the doctor and nurse, including the intensive care patient, is the fundamental prerequisite for a successful teleconsultation.
Since our TeleDoc system is modular, it can be individually configured, e.g. by integrating various medical devices:
In contrast to the “video consultation”, which enables direct communication between doctor and patient, a “teleconsultation” in outpatient intensive care refers to the professional communication between nurse and telemedicine doctor.
In AKI, it is often crucial that not only a video image of the patient is available, but that the diagnostics are expanded through medical devices.
Our medical mobile clinic “TeleDoc-Mobile” integrates various medical devices for this purpose.
The following components are included as standard in TeleDoc Mobile.
Hands-free system
Medical Panel PC
Controllable camera
Second screen
Our TeleDoc-Mobile can also be expanded with the following medical devices:
Blood gas analysis
Digital stethoscope
Dermatoscope
Otoscope
Patient monitor
Fiber endoscope
ultrasound device
Examination camera
Our TeleDoc software (also available as a web client) enables the easy integration of experts into the care of intensive care patients and is therefore installed as standard on the TeleDoc Mobile device. A teleconsultation can be initiated via the TeleDoc Mobile device, allowing the treating physician to conveniently join – all they need is the TeleDoc software, a camera, microphone, and speakers.
Communication, vital sign recording, and documentation are all handled centrally via the TeleDoc software. Final reports containing all recorded data are automatically generated and can then be seamlessly transferred to other software solutions.
We develop hardware and software that are perfectly coordinated. This allows us to leverage synergies and ensure maximum reliability.
During your teleconsultation, relevant vital signs are automatically recorded, transmitted in real time, and documented. This not only saves time, but also simplifies the documentation process.
Medical orders, as well as their implementation, are documented in an audit-proof manner.
The panel-based user interface ensures easy operation of the software on the one hand, and on the other hand offers the best possible overview through preview functions.
With the ThinClient, the nurse can log in to TeleDoc via a browser on their PC or tablet, start a consultation, and document or add data – functions that were previously reserved exclusively for the doctor.
The basic requirements are a current Windows operating system, a microphone, a speaker and a stable internet connection.
If you require a modified display or the integration of further diagnostic options, this is also possible later in the application process.
Our TeleDoc software enables the easy execution of televisits in outpatient intensive care and is therefore installed as standard on the TeleDoc Mobile.
Our TeleDoc software is our solution for easily integrating experts into patient care, which is why it comes pre-installed on the TeleDoc Mobile device! This allows a new teleconsultation to be started via TeleDoc on the TeleDoc Mobile, and the respective consultant can easily join. The consultant, who is not directly involved with the patient, only needs the TeleDoc software, a camera, a microphone, and speakers.
Communication, vital signs recording, and documentation are all handled centrally via the TeleDoc software. Consequently, reports containing all recorded data are generated and can be transferred to other software solutions.
The automatic recording of vital parameters allows for the optimization of processes in your facility.
Our software allows for the connection of various medical devices, thus enabling comprehensive diagnostics.
Based on the real-time transmission of vital data collected on site, informed decisions can be made.
Using the intuitive order cards, the doctor then communicates medical measures to the nurse.
Questionnaires for wound documentation or fall prevention support the care of patients.
The 10x zoom of our camera still allows for precise diagnostics equivalent to personal treatment.
You choose the medical devices for your TeleDoc-Mobile yourself, so that the system can be optimally tailored to your needs.
Because we develop hardware and software that are perfectly coordinated, synergies can be leveraged and maximum reliability can be guaranteed.

If you have any questions about our TeleDoc Portable, our TeleDoc software, or any other concerns, we are always happy to help. However, you might already find the answer to your question in our FAQs.
The use of telemedicine in outpatient intensive care makes medical care more efficient while simultaneously reducing hospital admissions.
Furthermore, experienced nurses or respiratory therapists have the opportunity to share their expertise across institutions, thereby sustainably improving the quality of outpatient intensive care (OIC).
At the same time, medical instructions can be transmitted and implemented directly in real time, without the need for a physical doctor’s visit. This reduces uncertainties in daily nursing care and saves valuable time that can instead be used for individual patient care.
Furthermore, the TeleDoc-Mobile enables specialized telemedicine services such as conducting potential assessments and remotely performing physician-supported swallowing diagnostics using digitally connected fiber endoscopes that stream the video image to the doctor in real time.
In short: Virtual doctor visits enable both optimized quality of care for intensive care patients and relief for nursing staff.
Video consultations are an efficient form of medical advice and support, but they cannot replace telemedicine with diagnostic procedures. Medical devices provide objective data that enables well-informed decisions. This data is essential for a precise assessment of potential according to IPReG and AKI guidelines, digital support of the weaning process, and continuous monitoring of health status.
Therefore, medical diagnostics are indispensable for comprehensive care, better treatment outcomes, and compliance with legal requirements.
Thanks to the integration of various medical devices, doctors receive comprehensive measurements and sound information, enabling a precise assessment of the weaning potential and supporting therapy optimization – all in accordance with the IPReG and AKI guidelines.
Regular televisits in outpatient intensive care (OIC), for example as part of virtual weaning checks, allow the entire weaning process from mechanical ventilation to be controlled more effectively and efficiently.
