GlobalMed and HP will introduce three new mobile telemedicine carts and a tablet PC solution powered by HP Workstations and EliteBook PCs that will bring doctors and patients in different places together for clinical healthcare, according to a company press release.
The GlobalMed i8500 Series Mobile Telemedicine Carts are powered by HP and use the HP Z210 SFF (Small Form Factor) Workstations with HP L2105 Widescreen LCD Touchscreen monitors “in a telemedicine cart that clinics can use to connect to other healthcare professionals around the world,” the press release states.
“Using our workstations and displays as the foundation, HP is changing the way we treat and see patients,” Chris Mertens, vice president, Healthcare, Personal Systems Group, HP, said in the press release. “Combining the reliability and stability of HP Workstations with HP’s quality testing and certification processes makes the i8500 series a great choice for healthcare providers looking to connect to other facilities around the world.”
Telemedicine is helping patients and doctors work together remotely all over the country, and even the world.
Medical professionals can use the GlobalMed General Practice Cart and GlobalMed Specialty Cart to do close-up patient examinations, and use “a digital stethoscope to hear high-quality real-time medical sounds remotely,” according to the press release.
Also, using CapSure® image automation software, medical practitioners can “measure, annotate and time/date stamp examination images.” The GlobalMed Specialty Cart also includes a TotalENT™ otoscope for high-quality digital video, according to the press release.
The GlobalMed Educational Cart can be used for patient and physician education programs. “The large screen allows clinicians to gather in groups for continuing medical education classes, and lets practitioners connect more closely with patients in remote telehealth evaluations,” the press release says. And the GlobalMed Endpoint Tablet PC 2760p allows physicians or specialists to view CapSure images captured by the software through CONi™ Services remotely, allowing them to consult with patients from their home or remote office.
