- What if the CEO develops chest pain while away from home? - What if your child has an ear infection while traveling? - What if a sales manager in Shanghai misses a meeting because of bronchitis? - What if a cruise passenger is seriously injured at sea? - What if a physician cannot leave home for a required Continuing Medical Education course? - What if a pharmaceutical company is launching a new drug worldwide? - What if ...? Information exchange, consultation, treatment, and continuing medical education via secure, quality electronic means has been a topic of discussions in hospitals, clinics, and private practices around the world. Today, there are healthcare professionals, lawmakers, and patients lobbying for better access to quality healthcare that can be provided locally or remotely. E-Health (or Electronic based Healthcare) is an integral part of today's medicine. Remote Medicine uses the local e-health capabilities and services and extends it to remote dispersed locations. ATKSI products and services are focused on e-health and remote medicine combined. Remote medicine is being used throughout the world for some years now. The cost of remote medicine and cultural changes (including laws and regulations) are the main two obstacles to using remote medicine. One aspect of these changes is that medical practice now may be conducted over wide geographic areas. At ATKSI, we believe in a natural slow growth in this field. You will find that our price/performance equipment and services are one of the most competitive in the industry. Although some changes have been faster in some communities than others, the overall change will start with limited applications until the technology can prove itself to the public at large before more serious potential use can be considered. For example, before remote medicine can be used to perform a remote surgical operation on a patient, the patient and his/her loved ones need to have confidence in the technology and the technology providers/operators as well as the remote physician performing the operation. Remote medicine can be summarized as medical activity that involves, in full or in part, remote medical resources and services. Distances are bridged using data/audio/video links, websites, e-mail, telephone, fax, electronic files exchange, or other telecommunications system to transmit medical information. In particular, remote medicine involves:
Telemedicine: treatment via remote medicine: the use of data/audio/video links, websites, e-mail, telephone, fax, electronic files exchange, or another telecommunications system to transmit medical information. For example, in consultations between a doctor and patient, supervision of medical staff, Remote Monitoring patient's vital sign while at the same time observing any changes in the patient's physical appearance, etc. Tele-healthcare: aimed at providing healthcare services via remote medicine: concerned with or involved in providing physical and mental services, preventive medicine services, and treatment to individuals or the public services in your local as well as distant communities. ATKSI Tele-Healthcare offers proven technology and expertise in creating clinically-based solutions for a wide range of patient populations and telehealth organizations. From linking clinics and patients in other regional communities to monitoring and surveying technologies. ATKSI Tele-Healthcare products are designed for ease of use – for patients and healthcare providers. How does it all work? Telemedicine and tele-healthcare services requires two or multiple remote medicine setups. The setups can be stationary or mobile. For example a doctor working on a patient will need to get an impression of the patient’s overall condition – is the patient in pain? Are there problems in speaking, movement, etc.? Furthermore, the doctor needs more concise data, for example a close visible examination of the patient’s injuries/symptoms, hard data on the patient’s vital signs, the patient medical history record, etc. In this example the doctor can be with the patient or in a remote location, and the patient medical records can be with the patient or in a remote clinic or hospital. ATKSI real-time and interactive Data/Audio/Video/-Communication brings all this information to a doctor or specialist remotely. The setup requires: At the hospital or doctor’s office- • An ATKSI Desktop ARM-PM with document camera. At the patient home: • An ATKSI Desktop ARM-PM with document camera. At the remote site (remote clinic or accident scene): • An ATKSI Mobile Unit. • Digital or analog medical equipment. For example:
• At least one external camera. Because the ATKSI Mobile has two composite analog video inputs (RCA), most specialized medical cameras (e.g. endoscopes) can be connected. ATKSI can also remote control a pan/tilt/zoom camera both locally and from the far end. This means the doctor working on the ARM-PM can manipulate the view. • External audio, if necessary. An external headset worn by the local staff is often helpful in loud environments. The communication link – • ATKSI products have been designed to support various networks and configurations. The most popular setup for people in the field is a connection through a high-speed satellite telephone into an ISDN network. This offers the advantage of having 64 kbit/s (128 kbit/s from two sat phones) from a very portable terminal and the ability to call a system connected to any ISDN network around the world. At ATKSI, we provide complete turnkey solutions including the integration of medical devices with audio/video devices over a cost effective network solution: The key element in any tele-application is the quality and reliability of the network solution connecting disparate users. This is what we do best. We use the best brand names medical, audio, and video equipment, and we ensure the integration of the brand name equipment with the network access and network transport systems; thus providing a complete turnkey solutions. The right combination of expertise, technology and support to help improve productivity at your establishment.
