Telemedicine

The education of the next generation of doctors, EMTs and nurses has evolved greatly over the last 20 years. Teaching hospitals and universities were once isolated by geography and the need to cure patients as quickly as possible with the resources at hand. These facilities are now capable of connecting to one another by teleconferencing systems that allow doctors to diagnose medical conditions hundreds of miles away.

One of the leading providers of telemedicine equipment is Cardionics. This company has brought together medical experts and academics from around the world to create top notch telemedicine tools for cardiac and pulmonary auscultation. The current line of telemedicine products includes the SimulScope Telemedicine Auscultation System, the Ausculette II Telemedicine System and the E-Scope Electronic Stethoscope.

High Speed Telemedicine

These telemedicine tools accomplish their goals with the use of either high-speed telephone lines such as T1 or ISDN or live over the Internet. Any of the above systems can connect to Polycom, Tandberg, Life Size or VTEL Teleconferencing Systems.
