Bringing Simplicity and Reliability to Telehealth Services

In the face of strict lockdowns and travel restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth emerged as a crucial function that enabled patients and doctors alike to obtain and provide best-in-class healthcare respectively, from the comfort of their homes. Today, a nurse in a rural region can effortlessly send diagnostic data to a doctor sitting in a different location and receive specific instructions pertaining to the treatment of a patient. However, between video and telephonic consultations, prescribing medications and constant monitoring of patients’ vitals, a robust and streamlined telehealth platform has become more significant than ever. At this juncture, SK-Telemed—a pioneer of telehealth services— provides digital solutions that enhance remote patient monitoring, doctor-patient communication, and medication management while provisioning effective treatments quickly. Seamlessly integrated into the healthcare systems, these solutions can facilitate an environment for doctors and patients to have a ‘sure-shot’ at exceptional treatment without any significant disruption in these testing times. “We focus on bringing a new era to telehealth by developing modern solutions and by maintaining as well as supporting the healthcare infrastructure consistently,” says Dr. Sergiy Kutsevlyak, the CEO and Founder of the company. With cutting-edge solutions such as IDIS2GO and Show2Doc, the Vienna-based company has simplified the telehealth infrastructure for doctors, caregivers, and patients, establishing itself as the most sought-after partner in this domain.

SK-Telemed’s IDIS2GO is a comprehensive telehealth solution that addresses the most crucial issues of collecting, transmitting, and storing patient’s information remotely. The solution includes a kit that contains infrared thermometers, glucometers, oximeters, and more, along with IDIS2GO software (for collecting data and generating reports) and a cloud platform (for data storage). Collectively, patients and caregivers can access best-in-class diagnostic services on a user-friendly interface, even in the most rural and challenging environments. In tandem with IDIS2GO, the company offers Show2Doc, an all-encompassing doctor-to-patient communication and monitoring platform for the continuous care of patients.

With this platform in hand, patients have a direct line of communication to provide any update on health status to doctors, either via video call or chat message. Moreover, its medication management capabilities have made the solution an indispensable part of patients’ life, as it sends push notification reminders of the scheduled time for medicine consumption and periodic tests. Available as an application to the end-users, it can also collect data pertaining to blood pressure, ECG, and SpO2, thereby sending it to the healthcare professionals for swift interpretation.

As the fundamental principle of telehealth solutions is to operate remotely, the company’s products are entirely independent of any hardware connection and need not be physically connected with a medical information system. “We also provide best quality diagnostic tools and work towards expanding the variety of these tools on a regular basis,” reveals Dr. Kutsevlyak.

To support these offerings, SK-Telemed has more than 80 developers based in Ukraine, Austria, and Brazil who are always looking to improve the solutions’ capabilities. Moreover, given that the solutions are already certified under ISO:13485 medical standards and validated with data protection certifications, users can be sure of receiving the best possible telehealth services.

Illustrating the company’s mastery over telehealth services is its engagement in the Ukraine government’s rural healthcare improvement project. SK-Telemed was responsible for delivering 70 percent of telemedicine equipment, spanning across 18 provinces of the country, thereby accounting for the bulk of the territory and the doctors of the region. The company surpassed these deliverables with excellence, assisting medical professionals in actuating healthcare services to those in need.

Building on such successes, the company is looking to make breakthroughs across newer regions, and by the end of 2021, deliver its solutions to 30 countries. Also, staying true to its culture of innovation and continuous development, SK-Telemed will modify and improve the solutions to meet the market requirements and provide the best that healthcare has to offer.
