Philips Tele-ultrasound is designed to improve access to care, bringing remote decision support to the primary care outpatient clinics, emergency first responders, hospital inpatient imaging departments and many other sites so you can improve workflow inefficiencies, enhance patient and staff satisfaction and drive better outcomes regardless of location.
In a Prospective study of 30 subjects undergoing routine obstetric imaging, 100% of the patients felt they had better access to care using Collaboration Live for tele-ultrasound.2
Implementation of a remote collaboration tool to perform echocardiograms during the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated a 57% reduction in exam time with the remote user being able to indicate when they had the images they needed.3
While conducting a one-year revenue generation study, a maternal fetal medicine practice was able to increase their revenue by 44%.4
Collaboration Live is a communication platform embedded in EPIQ, Affiniti and Compact 5000 series systems that enables an ultrasound user and a remote user to communicate or accept control of the system in real-time. Users can quickly and securely talk, text, screen share and video stream directly from the ultrasound system to a PC or compatible mobile device, giving you the flexibility to communicate from almost anywhere.
Collaborate with experts across town or around the world by pairing a Philips Lumify with the same Reacts technology as Collaboration Live. POCUS (Point-of-care ultrasound) users can share sharp images in real time and have face-to-face conversations with other medical professionals. You can even flip your camera and show them what you see live.
Collaboration Live lets you connect system-to-system so you can give and get support from your colleagues during an ultrasound exam.
Collaboration Live with multi-party lets you connect up to six participants on a call.
Our portfolio of tele-ultrasound capable products lets you easily stay connected and helps your team coordinate care throughout the patient
