In this case, high-resolution audiovisual data from the clinical sources and room-context cameras, including fluoroscopy, digital subtraction angiography, the operator's hands, and room surroundings, were streamed to Dr. Pereira, providing him with the situational and spatial awareness he needed to supervise the procedure safely and confidently. This information was encrypted and streamed securely through the MedPresence cloud-based system, with no protected health information transmitted or stored, consistent with HIPAA requirements.
"When we are working in microns, as we are in neurointerventional surgery, the fidelity of the image and sound provided remotely needs to be very high," said Dr. Pereira. "The MedPresence interface provided all of the detailed information I needed to guide Dr. Wakhloo and his team during the procedure."
Using MedPresence, specialists, senior clinicians, and technical experts can consult virtually on cases, providing accurate, well-coordinated input. Enabling features of the MedPresence platform include:
Direct Clinical Source Data: Connects consultants outside the procedure room with clinical data sources and information, such as video from the endoscopic medical tower or C-arm.
Immersive Two-Way Audio, Video with Telestration: Integrates clinical information with interactive capabilities, allowing collaborating teams to draw, using a stylus or fingertip, directly on the screen of any device (iPhone, iPad, PC).
Secure, Cloud-Based Platform: Provides layers of security and privacy not available in standard web-sharing technology.
A telecollaboration platform such as MedPresence provides technical capabilities health care providers need to be able to consult with one another remotely. Being able to consult virtually allows clinicians to complete the testing and training needed to safely treat their patients using new devices.
