A cost effective medical conferencing solution is available for use at home, in GP's surgeries and nurse led clinics. It is also suitable for one or two people in a satellite office to use for administrative purposes and can also be used for monitoring and communicating with patients in their own homes. The solution provides simple to use, clear communication with remote locations. It is housed in a self-contained unit and gives the same high quality of audio and video you would expect from larger solutions. The remote unit sits on top of a normal TV and has a built in camera, microphone and stereo speakers.
