Fostering a true team approach with discussions between pathologists, gastroenterologists, and surgeons taking place in live, real-time to collaborate on diagnoses.

Remote Medical Technologies, LLC. (RMT) has advanced the iMedHD2™ Telepathology and Ultrasound Systems for use with fine needle aspirations (FNA) and transbronchial needle aspirations (TBNA).  The stages in which biopsies are being performed are now changing due to the use of this innovative system.  Prolonged patient anxiety, insufficient cellularity, and the inability for doctors of different disciplines to communicate effectively in real-time for the benefit of the patient are aspects of this procedure that we are seeing being phased out.  Immediate diagnoses for such procedures are being given by pathologists, gastroenterologists, and surgeons due to the ease of use of the iMedHD2™ Telepathology and Ultrasound System. 

These systems allow doctors to securely stream and collaborate on high definition images and video, which can be integrated with existing LIS, HIS, EMR, and HER systems, in real-time as soon as material is aspirated for histological analysis.  CEO and Founder of RMT, Don Marchon, states, “Patients appreciate the fact that they are receiving the best immediate care, advice, and instructions from cross specialty medical experts.  This results in better patient treatments, outcomes, and significant cost saving benefits to the medical facility.  The ability to capture snapshots and record video with audio to be shared with colleagues anywhere, be it in the same hospital or in another city, is a great solution for problematic cells and false negative results.  Regardless of biopsies performed on a mass or ultrasound guided fine needle biopsies, once the cells are extracted a technician can quickly place a stained slide under a microscope for immediate shared analysis.”

Remote Medical Technologies has announced a major advancement in their iMedHD2™ Telemedicine Capabilities with the unveiling of the iMedHD2™ Tele-Ultrasound System.  The development of this innovative technology gives doctors and technicians alike the advanced capabilities to collaborate with primary care physicians and other healthcare personnel for improved patient care.  Pathologists, radiologists, sonographers, and surgeons are applauding this technology because it allows immediate diagnosis and treatment, thereby saving time and improving patient care.  This technology is the only system to feature up to 1920 x 1080 pixels for a true high definition image sharing performance without pixilation.   The iMedHD2™ Tele-Ultrasound System is able to capture images, video, and audio from real-time sharing, all through a HIPAA secure system that employs token passing and video encryption. This live Tele-Ultrasound system works on most popular browsers or devices for PC and MAC, including iPads, iPhones, and Android devices, making it the most mobile of teleradiology solutions.  One of the strongest features of this system is the live, dynamic annotation sharing capabilities among all participants that allow doctors and physicians with a common user interface to easily collaborate for the benefit of the patient.  Healthcare facilities are now streamlining the process from diagnosis to treatment resulting in better workflow, higher revenue, and lower costs.

Remote Medical Technologies (RMT) is also seeing the iMedHD2™ Tele-Ultrasound System being used for remote, hands-on training to and from facilities for educational purposes.  Founder and CEO of RMT, Don Marchon, says, “I believe that because our system is intuitive, easy to use, and has the flexibility to be carted to any location, educational facilities are incorporating our technology into their daily operations.”  The versatility of the systems allows for multipurpose use through various fields and industries ranging from general imaging to OB/GYN, breast, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, urology, vascular and musculoskeletal imaging stemming into intervention biopsies and fine needle aspirations.  Unlike conventional systems that require special hardware at each end, are limited to specific point-to-point communication processing, or require client software downloads, RMT only requires a broadband Internet connection.  Additionally, optional Voice-over IP, document presentation, and annotation sharing capabilities are available.

This week I saw a demonstration of “Be There Be Anywhere™” and spoke with RMT founder & CEO, Don Marchon … Although I only had time for a short demonstration, I was very impressed! Don was using a Nikon 50i microscope, to deliver live, real-time images of a thin prep cytology slide. The 50i was equipped with RMT’s iMEDHD™ package; the key component of “Be There Anywhere™” solution. During the demo we launched our webcams, talked via VOIP, and I watched Don (from the comfort of my living room) deliver a PowerPoint presentation via RMT’s web conference application that could easily rival WebEx or GoToMeeting. The speed was amazing, but the image quality was like nothing I’ve seen before in telepathology! It really was HD!

Forget about the limitations and cost burdens associated with conventional telepathology systems.Traditional products typically include special hardware at each end, limit users to specific point-to-point communication processing, and require client software downloads. Be There Anywhere™ eliminates these complexities, requiring only the compact iMedHD™ package and Internet connectivity. This highly secure offering, with video capture capabilities, is the ideal solution for real time Internet sharing and collaboration of true live high definition images.
