Vidyo in Rural Medicine
Vidyo and the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) have partnered to enable thousands of Alaska healthcare practitioners to conduct real-time, high-definition video consultations and examinations with hundreds of thousands of patients in more than 200 locations.
“The implementation of Vidyo has given us the ability to change the way we provide healthcare in rural Alaska. The AFHCAN Telehealth program has more than 1,500 active providers in its network at any one time, with an average of 500 new providers each year. There’s a daily challenge of how best to reach out and connect with more than 200 sites scattered over 37 autonomous organizations at the end of land lines, satellite links, microwave towers, sea cables, you name it. For our complex world, we needed something that just works, period. That’s Vidyo.”
