"Nothing is more important to providing remote critical care than to have access to the patient at the actual time of a medical intervention or assessment. Timely medical status and communication with patients in crisis can save lives. Accordingly, we're very excited to offer this complete telemedicine tool to our global base of buyers," says Dean Becker, CEO of ICAP Patent Brokerage.


Key Characteristics and Benefits


The portfolio for sale includes an interactive telemedicine communication system for medical treatment of remotely located patients. The invention provides two stations - one for patients and one for medical practitioners - in communication with each other in order to provide medical services to patients regardless of location. Both stations are equipped with video and audio capabilities, allowing the practitioner and patient to see and hear one another. A variety of devices are present at both stations that enable the transmission of information between the parties.


Several monitors, located at the patient's station, enable the practitioner to measure and monitor several health-related parameters. The system can also be used on a time-delay basis, so a medical professional can work through a log of cases. This portfolio is relevant to a variety of healthcare centers and services, such as home healthcare, rural healthcare, nursing homes, web and e-visits, telepsychiatry, and all areas of telemedicine and telehealthcare.
