On November 2, 2010, Quarkcell participated in the last two stops (Zhengzhou and Shijiazhuang) of Polycom’s “HD Video Solutions” national tour. This tour mainly assisted Polycom. Completed the realization of high-definition video solutions for telemedicine, making the telemedicine video solutions perfect.
Telemedicine (Telemedicine) broadly speaking: refers to the use of remote communication technology, holographic imaging technology, new electronic technology and computer multimedia technology to give full play to the advantages of medical technology and equipment of large medical centers to provide long-distance medical and health conditions and special environments. Medical information and services. It includes all medical activities such as remote diagnosis, remote consultation and nursing, remote education, and remote medical information services. In a narrow sense: refers to telemedicine, including remote imaging, remote diagnosis and consultation, remote nursing and other medical activities. The development of this field abroad has a history of nearly 40 years, and it started late in our country.
In the late 1950s, American scholar Wittson first used the two-way TV system for medical treatment; in the same year, Jutra and others founded teleradiology. Since then, people in the United States have continued to use communication and electronic technology for medical activities, and the term Telemedicine has appeared. Now domestic experts have uniformly translated it as “telemedicine.” American futurist Alvin Tofkung predicted many years ago: “In future medical activities, doctors will face the computer and diagnose and treat patients based on the various information displayed on the screen of patients from afar.” This situation has arrived.
Advantages of telemedicine:
1. The use of telemedicine in appropriate places and home medical care can greatly reduce the time and cost of transporting patients.
2. The emergency medical services in remote areas can be well managed and distributed. This can be achieved by transmitting photos to key medical centers.
3. It can enable doctors to break through the limitation of geographical scope and share patients’ medical records and diagnostic photos, which is conducive to the development of clinical research.
4. Better medical education can be provided for medical staff in remote areas.
Generally speaking, the huge and expanding telemedicine applications can greatly reduce the barriers for patients to receive medical treatment, because geographical isolation is no longer an insurmountable barrier in medical treatment. my country is a vast country, and there are obvious regional differences in the level of medical care, especially in the vast rural areas and remote areas. Therefore, telemedicine is more necessary in my country.
my country only began to explore telemedicine in the 1980s. In 1988, the PLA General Hospital conducted a remote neurosurgery case discussion with a German hospital via satellite. In 1995, the Shanghai Education Research Network and the Shanghai Medical University teleconsultation project were launched, and the telemedicine consultation research room was established. At present, the websites of dozens of hospitals in more than 20 provinces and cities across the country, including Peking Union Medical College Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Fuwai Cardiovascular Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, have passed the inspection and have been officially put into operation. Patients have conducted remote, remote, real-time, and dynamic live telemedicine consultations, successfully carried out large-scale international conferences throughout the broadcast, and organized dozens of domestic and foreign special lectures, academic exchanges and surgical observations, which greatly promoted the development of my country’s telemedicine industry .
Midland Corporation uses advanced medical live mobile workstations, combined with Polycom’s high-definition video solutions, to perfectly solve the high requirements for electrical equipment in the modern medical environment. Excellent ergonomics and power management system well support Polycom’s remote HD video transmission requirements, because the battery in the medical charged mobile workstation has passed the UL certification (in the United States, for consumers, UL is a symbol of the safety mark , Globally, UL is one of the most trusted qualified assessment providers for manufacturers) At the same time, it takes into account the requirements for the safety testing of live equipment in the digital operating room, and can ensure safe use under strict requirements.
The most important application in telemedicine is the effective acquisition of images and information. Effective support for equipment and the effective use of high-value equipment are the first problems that every hospital has to face in the development of telemedicine. Midland Corporation uses advanced medical mobile workstations combined with Polycom’s high-definition video products to maximize the performance of images while ensuring the timeliness and effectiveness of communication. Larry Lee, technical director of Quarkcell, said that they will also increase technological innovation and launch large-screen telemedicine solutions based on user needs. The new products will greatly improve the use of telemedicine in my country.
