Medical Teleconsultation Origins

Telemedicine was first developed in Europe in the early 2000’s by cardiologists aiming to monitor patients from their homes. Around 2010 the first series of remote teleconsultation started appearing mainly to address employee sick or medical leave in large corporations. The concept of a remote monitoring kiosk followed but was met with minimal success, principally due to connectivity limitations and a public lack of perceived need.

While the home monitoring applications continued to flourish in Europe (primarily in Italy at first followed by Scotland, Holland, and Germany) – until now, most doctor and specialist visits took place at a physicians’ facility or at a clinic.

Telehealth today includes telemedicine (diagnosis and treatment of illness or injury), and services such as assessment, monitoring, communications, prevention, and education. It involves a broad range of telecommunications, health information, videoconferencing, and digital image technologies.

COVID Propels Telehealth Uptake

During the recent COVID-19 crisis the European Union accelerated the introduction of digital health and telemedicine services dramatically. The public perception of digital health and telemedicine in Europe was positive, and acceptance was immediate and growth projections are consequently immense.

The telehealth market in Europe is estimated to grow to $21.80 Billion by 2026*
*Market Data Forecast (April 2021)

The North American marketplace is already catching up and growing rapidly.

The telehealth market in the USA is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 28.0% to USD$43 billion by 2026*

UniDoc Targets a Clear Unmet Need

Not everyone is comfortable installing apps and downloading software onto a phone or computer at home. In fact, a large segment of the population is challenged by access, experience or understanding of online computer technology. This is compounded when medical device integration, such as blood pressure devices, oxygen, pulse, and cardiac sensors may be required.

Seniors, persons with disabilities, or average citizens with time constraints increasingly need ready access to primary diagnostic services. With COVID, most clinics simply shifted to call-in sessions with physicians which required ample advance scheduling and offered limited diagnostic scope. Inevitably, those individuals requiring better insights had to either book an additional in-person session with their physician of simply go to a hospital – time consuming, inefficient, frustrating and a negative burden on the increasingly stressed health system.

The UniDoc Virtual Clinic

  • UniDoc holds the rights to a technology solution designed and under development as a self-contained remote virtual clinic within a private kiosk where a patient can undergo a comprehensive consultation as if they were present in a physician’s office.
  • Specialized Equipment and layout conceived to meet the needs of persons with disabilities, the kiosk-based system is planned to offer a suite of consultative services utilizing much of the same equipment utilized by doctors and specialist in their own laboratories and offices.
  • Trained practitioners within the UniDoc environment could be made available to operate advanced equipment such as EKG’s and offer device setup and operational assistance as needed by the user.
  • 3rd party specialists could be made available during a session in the UniDoc kiosk as the platform is designed to allow for the sharing of specific patient data under HIPPAA laws (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).
  • Unrivalled medical access becomes available for entire communities regardless of urban or rural settings. Target access is focused on existing medical facilities, pharmacies, schools, and community centers.
  • Doctors can prescribe from within the proposed UniDoc environment to offer the same medications as during a physical office visit. The information and data are transmitted to the doctor through HIPPAA and ERM (Enterprise Risk Management) compliant protocols.
  • Widespread market access was designed into the concept from the start. We aim to help bring healthcare anywhere from the most developed countries and cities to help alleviate the congestion at hospitals and shortfall of doctors to some of the most remote locations in the world offering medical health diagnostic, pre and post intervention care.

 

UniDoc aims to innovate the industry by offering a complete virtual care solution, a purpose-built network linking patients with multiple levels of Health Care through modernization and utilization of new and innovative technologies.

In Conclusion

Telemedicine was initially developed to bring health services closer to remote populations with limited health resources. Later, it became a means to improve the quality of medical care by facilitating training and decision making of health care professionals in remote areas. Today, UniDoc is preparing a solution to improve the efficiency of health services through shared and coordinated resources designed to improve patient experiences through shortened timelines and better outcomes.

Accessibility is the key. Our success will be based on happier and healthier families, neighbours, colleagues, seniors, and persons with disabilities everywhere.
