Medical Consultations Using Vidyo-Enabled REACH System to be Demonstrated at HIMSS 2012
Hackensack, NJ – February 21, 2012 – Vidyo, Inc., the first company to deliver personal telepresence, today announced its collaboration with REACH Health, a technology company specializing in developing and providing interactive physician-to-patient access. REACH Health has integrated Vidyo technology into its proprietary software platform that offers multidiscipline acute care telemedicine capabilities such as workflow, enhanced diagnostic assistance and automated documentation capabilities, in addition to video. Vidyo offers the industry’s richest and most versatile video collaboration platform with APIs that allow companies such as REACH to provide high-quality video communications to medical practitioners. The Vidyo-enabled REACH Health solution will be demonstrated at this week’s HIMSS 2012 conference from February 20 – 24, 2012 in Las Vegas, in Metro-Emerson’s Booth # 1329.
“We needed to enable multi-party synchronized audio/video within our platform and Vidyo was able to meet critical requirements — exceptional quality of video, reliability of connection, cost and ability to integrate via APIs with the other applications in our platform,” said Cory Hall, Executive VP of Medical Informatics at REACH Health. “Our platform is unique in that it was developed by physicians and we are committed to leveraging new and evolving technologies, such as Vidyo’s, to provide the best access to medical care.”
“Telehealth is a critically important, rapidly growing field for which Vidyo’s capabilities are uniquely suited, “said Dr. Amnon Gavish, Vidyo’s Senior VP, Vertical Solutions. “No other video communication solution is able to offer the level of quality and ease-of-integration that Vidyo can provide with its APIs. Since REACH Health services many environments that have limited network bandwidth and communications capabilities, they needed to integrate a video communication solution that would connect with smaller, rural facilities with limited connection capabilities. Only Vidyo was able to meet this requirement.”
Der Vidyo-Unterschied
Die Kommunikations- und Kollaborationsplattform von Vidyo ist softwarebasiert, hochflexibel und kann leicht an die individuellen Bedürfnisse von Unternehmen und vertikalen Märkten angepasst werden. Die patentierte VidyoRouter™. architecture introduces Adaptive Videoüberlagerung™, which dynamically optimizes the video for each endpoint leveraging H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC)-based compression technology and Vidyo’s IP. Adaptive Video Layering eliminates the MCU and offers unprecedented error resiliency, low latency rate matching thus enabling natural, affordable, high-quality video to work over the Internet, LTE and 4G networks. The platform allows users to quickly leverage the latest hardware innovations and new consumer devices, making it uniquely attractive to partners. Vidyo has been active driving H.264 SVC and SIP videoconferencing interoperability in various standards bodies since 2005.
