eMDnow: Caring for veterans completely
Integrating stethoscope insights turns a web chat into a real checkup.
The Challenge
eMDnow provides virtual care for veterans living in Jacksonville, FL. Telemedicine that’s effective for all can help the community get more timely care without having to drive two hours to the closest VA Hospital—which is often understaffed and has long wait times. Being able to access care online, through a mobile app, or walk into a small clinic in a pharmacy, would be add convenience to veteran’s lives.
The Solution
eMDNow utilizes Eko’s Windows-compatible live-streaming software, running side-by-side with Zoom video conference. Separating the Zoom video and the livestream audio ensures superior stethoscope audio and allows the consulting MD to follow along with the visit as the patient is being assessed.
Their telemedicine deployment includes:
- eMDnow Healthcare on Demand App
- Zoom Video Conference
- Telemedicine interchangeable scope for ear/nose/throat, dermatology, and ophthalmology
- CORE Digital Stethoscope
- Eko Telehealth Platform
The Outcome
Using mobile and web-based telemedicine technology eMDnow is able to support the community with a number of health services including:
- Virtual consultations
- Walk-in clinics
- Prescription refills
- Diagnostic and lab services
- Women’s services
- Vaccines
