The Central Tibetan Administration’s Health Kalon-Dr Tsering Wangchuk- was in Bangalore to experience and inaugurate the telemedicine connection between Telerad RXDX in Whitefield, Bangalore and Mainpat, Chattisgarh.
The telemedicine setup has been deployed in Mainpat, a remote Tibetan settlement in Chattisgarh. The patient end is handled by a trained nurse equipped with a digital thermometer, blood pressure cuff, stethoscope and ECG. Using this technology a patient sitting in Mainpat can interactively discuss his condition with the physician sitting remotely in Bangalore and get treated. Cisco’s Healthpresence is integrated with TeleradTech’s teleradiology platform – RADSpa. So the physician can not only examine the patient but also view his diagnostic scans.
