InTouch Health is a leading provider of Remote Presence solutions that empower physicians to easily and more frequently visit with hospital-based patients. Remote Presence is the ability to project yourself to another location and to move, see, hear and talk as though you were actually there. The RP-7® is a wireless, mobile, Remote Presence Robot that lets a physician “be in two places at once.” A Remote Presence Robotic System is comprised of one or more ControlStations™ and RP-7 Robots which are connected through a combination of secure internet and wireless technologies. Under the direct control of a remote physician seated at a ControlStation, the RP-7 can move untethered allowing the physician to freely interact with patients, family members and hospital staff from anywhere, anytime.
Remote Presence technology enables a physician to perform many key activities when it is not possible to be physically at the patient bedside. Through the ControlStation, he or she can discuss a patient’s status at the nurses’ station, drive into the patient room, observe patient behavior, check bedside monitors and ventilator settings, discuss care with the patient and/or family members, and return to the nurses’ station to give orders or discuss next steps.
