Real-Time Encoding for Telemedicine

One of the fastest-growing sectors of the medical industry is the phenomenon known as telemedicine. In brief, telemedicine is a livestreamed medical service that allows doctors in hospitals and clinics in (oftentimes) developed areas of the world to “perform” vital medical procedures on patients who would otherwise never be able to access that level of healthcare in that given timeframe. Someone who goes into cardiac arrest in a rural area of North America, or someone in India or South Africa who needs a tumor removed by a specialist surgeon, will most likely need “stronger medicine” than their local healthcare system is able to provide. Nevertheless, as our North American grid gets ever more interconnected, and as more and more people in developing countries have the financial wherewithal to pay for expensive medical treatment performed traditionally only in the so-called “West,” telemedicine is a market that promises –indeed already delivers – lucrative growth in just a short span of years.

Surgery is, to put it understatedly, a “fine art” both in terms of timing and visual precision, the need seems obvious for high-speed, HD technology like Telairity’s to pave the way for effective, globalized health services. Our encoders are able to digitally compress enormous quantities of data in minute-by-minute real-time, digitizing this data while providing superior visual quality all the while. That’s no small feat when it comes to a question of life-or-death. Already, hospitals in Georgia and India have partnered with each other in jointly using of our encoding technology, allowing each facility to benefit the other in ways which neither could have foreseen just a few, scant years ago. Healthcare is rapidly and stealthily becoming available (at least technologically speaking) to a vast number of the planet’s population. Through its high definition and powerful bit-rate compression applications, Telairity continues to interweave and link the world’s most essential services with one another.
