AMD expands telemedicine into LTC

AMD Global Telemedicine Inc. (AMD) has announced a new series of mobile telemedicine systems designed for long-term care settings. The product line includes a tablet-based cart system, a laptop-based cart system and a modular system capable of handling multiple devices.

Each system comes with telemedicine software, video-conferencing, remote-controlled cameras and medical input devices. Available as a purchase or lease, all systems include 24/7 IT support and three years of software maintenance.

“From our experience in the SNF market, there are typically well defined use cases for telemedicine and a keen desire for manageable and predictable cost models.” said Dan McCafferty, AMD's Vice President of Global Sales and Corporate Development, in a company release. “This offering of standard, bundled platforms with likely options and fixed financing scenarios meet the key needs of this market."
