Telehealth

The emerging trend in Telehealth is an important component to the overall health care solution. There is a growing movement of utilizing Telehealth to reduce strain on clinics. Adding advanced remote capabilities to the unparalleled accuracy of CSI's Health Resource System Telemedicine Kiosk significantly offsets the impact of overcrowded medical facilities. This partnership allows healthcare providers to service more patients without sacrificing quality of care. Patients no longer have to wait to be seen and receive treatment but can take a proactive approach to health maintenance and prevention.

Telehealth is the key to providing healthcare access to the consumer wherever and whenever they need it.

Millions of dollars in time and money are lost every year because of unnecessary ER visits and trips to the doctor. Telehealth technology, featured in the CSI Telemedicine Kiosk, allows for diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring whereby a patient's Personal Health Record system enables a doctor to perform a virtual "house call" when the patient's information - not the patient - needs to be in front of the doctor.

The CSI 9K Health Resource System Telemedicine Kiosk features health monitoring and education tools that individuals use to track their own health and receive critical information on health issues. Our innovative health care kiosk provides virtual connectivity to a Board Certified Physician … at any time … and anywhere in the world … when a health problem occurs.

CSI's Telemedicine Kiosks offer a full suite of telehealth capabilities. Vital signs can be monitored remotely by physicians, eliminating the time and expense of patient transportation. The Telemedicine Kiosk and Monitoring Systems promote efficient management of multiple patients from a single clinic location by enabling hospital physicians to track patient blood pressure and weight as well as manage diabetes and congestive heart failure.

Telehealth technology also enables medical personnel to analyze aggregate data collected at the telemedicine kiosk, identify populations with greater disease risks, and monitor outbreaks. CSI's Health Stations and  Monitoring Systems have also been proven to reduce healthcare costs by encouraging uninsured patients to use corporate and public clinic programs for proactive health management.

CSI has been a member of the American Telemedicine Association since 2003.
