Unified Communications – especially presence, skill search, interactive real time applications and video – can and will revolutionise health care. It’s great to see that everyday their are articles related to the investment in Telemedicine across the world.
UC can reduce the cost of providing health care and provide faster and wider access to specialist skills. Given the amount of examples I’ll be keeping a running score of articles I come across.
From FireceTelecom California has recently launched a Telemedicine network:
California residents will now be able to tap into new health care capabilities as the state officially launched its California Telehealth Network (CTN) this week.
The CTN, which was announced by Arnold Schwarzenegger, California’s governor, and U.S. Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra at the UC Davis Cancer Center in Sacramento, will connect more than 800 California healthcare facilities to a statewide medical-grade network of healthcare and emergency services.
