From training to patient care, the ability of instant live communication is already changing the healthcare industry. Doctors are able to offer medical advice to patients via webcam chat, and patients don’t have to leave homes or offices to get their questions answered. Training seminars are also finding incredible online success as doctors are able to not only show video of a surgery and talk about it, but do it all live benefitting doctors-in-training all over the world simultaneously. No longer bound by the halls of medicine, professional healthcare is able to benefit the world at large.
Medical offices are also benefitting from real-time video streaming as employees are able to sign in and receive up-to-date company policy and news via video on demand. This reduces the cost of printing and sending out thousands of mailers, and video production is simply the executive speaking to the webcam.
