Mobile Video Conferencing options are expanding rapidly in the business market. This creates many challenges and opportunities for those in an organisation with the task of putting a mobile video conference and video collaboration solution in place.
So how can Mobile Video Conferencing be implemented into organisations and improve services, reduce costs and increase productivity? Here are some examples of how video conferencing mobility has already benefitted the Healthcare Industry:
- Healthcare institutions can offer a better, faster and more indepth service when incorporating mobile video conferencing into the workforce. Medical services can be offered to rural and distant locations, for example, remote islands and oil rigs, without heavily investing in low ROI buildings, offices and hospitals. This enables remote diagnosis, monitoring and checkups.
- Ambulance services can use video to inform hospital staff of incoming patient requirements, be given better treatment instructions in transit and have access to specialist doctors in seconds if required.
- Mobile video conferencing can enable fast access to specialists when situations such as poison, bites or infectious diseases occur. It allows for much faster response times in comparison to traditional methods.
“We are using technology to take the stroke specialists to the patient, rather than moving the patient long distances, around rural areas, to where specialists work,”
(Dr Paul Davies, Stroke Consultant)
“Video Conferencing has helped the trust save thousands of man-hours previously lost to travel”, (Dr Simon Carter, a consultant urologist at Imperial College Healthcare Trust).
