The practitioner (health aid, physician’s assistant, nurse practitioner, physician) assisting the patient can obtain patient data – narrative, EKG, various images and sounds – and store it in a digitized format for immediate transmittal to a specialist in a different location, or for archival for later transmittal. It is a very unique melding of interactive medical equipment, computer technology, and telecommunications technology.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Where are Alomedic services available?”]Currently only in Dakar Senegal, but you can sign-up remotely for your family.
