Uses
Tele-ecography

How does it work?
The two scenarios
The specialist performing the diagnostic examination wears the viewer and connects Connect to his ultrasound scanner. Remote users view and listen in real time, via the Optip platform, to what the specialist is looking at and explaining, i.e. the diagnostic image from Connect and the video of the positioning of the probe on the patient from the viewer’s camera.
The doctor requesting a consultation wears the viewer and connects Connect to his ultrasound scanner. The remote expert, via the Optip platform, views the clinical case in real time and offers his advice, guiding the doctor’s hands and eyes for a more in-depth analysis.
