Beam telepresence revolutionises healthcare establishments
Telepresence robots are being used more and more in healthcare establishments. They enable patients to benefit from a regular connection to their loved ones, so that they feel greater support. They also enable healthcare professionals to put in place new solutions for examining and monitoring their patients. These two advantages are contributing to the well-being of people in hospitals and nursing homes.
Virtual presence appreciated by the elderly
Several nursing homes are equipped with Beam telepresence robots. There are two objectives: first to enable families to visit their loved ones more frequently, even every day, which is often difficult because of the physical distance. The Beam robots then becomes a fully fledged family relay, helping to keep the spirits up of people in nursing homes. The second type of use is medical. Some establishments use this high definition video conference solution to obtain advice and diagnosis support from healthcare specialists who are not physically present because they do not have time to travel.
Facilitated mobile telepresence for healthcare experts
Healthcare establishments that own a BeamPro, Beam+ or a Beam+ Max use it first and foremost as a support device for physicians.
They are able to be physically present on several sites, while remaining close to their patients that they monitor remotely according to need. In the same way as for nursing homes, Beam also makes it possible to obtain another opinion from specialists. Finally, in extremely urgent cases, a physician may be brought in from the other end of the world, thereby giving the hospital a reassuring image, and an additional guarantee of reliability. For establishments specialised in children, Beam telepresence robots enable young patients unable to leave reverse isolation rooms to escape for the duration of a virtual connection, to visit a museum, go to a concert, or a charity event, etc.
Beam’s role in the healthcare sphere is really as a service robot. It re-humanises distances between patients and their family or physician. It also gives specialists the opportunity to intervene remotely to give their diagnosis and to reassure their patients. In this way “beaming” helps contribute to peace of mind for hospital patients, and a quick recovery.
