While most peoples idea of video conferencing is of group executives sitting around the boardroom table talking to the CEO over a video link on his island paradise. However, video conferencing has come a long way from this stylised image and technological revolutions on the architecture delivering online conferences mean that everyone, anywhere can do it.
One really useful application for high definition, video conferencing is in the field of medicine. There are a number of incredibly versatile and in many instances life saving uses to which video conferencing can be put.
The technology is such that even a simple desktop computer logged onto the internet can provide a valuable high definition video link with a medical specialist or surgeon. The software running such programs is so sophisticated that you can achieve television quality images with incredible sound quality every time. The system ensures that there is no delay or latency in the image screening and that breaks in communication do not occur.
When advising on a delicate operation or the emergency administration of treatment the last thing any doctor would wish to happen is for the system to need rebooting or poor picture quality making it impossible to decide what is going on. The HDVC system provides television quality image presentation and offers crystal clear sound; helping surgeons make the correct diagnosis and offer accurate advice.
A simple but high quality system is also a great aid in the remote care and monitoring of patients who are laid up in difficult to reach places or long stay home patients that need the occasional check up, or to monitor post operation recovery when the doctor is unable to attend in person.
The system, which runs of a desktop computer, can also provide an incredibly useful tool for, often cash strapped health authorities at a fraction of the cost that more traditional video conferencing systems cost.
The same system can also be helpful in the sphere of medical training through easy access conferencing either in house or for remote students. The presentations can also include a whole array of multimedia enhancements, document files, sound and audio clips and PowerPoint presentations. All provided in glorious Technicolor.
Whether HDVC is used as a teaching aid, consultative link or patient monitoring system there are many practical uses that hospitals and medical professionals can put high definition video conferencing to and increase the quality of patient care and student education as well.
