HONOLULU, HI (May 20, 2010)–Spae International Communications, a leading global provider of Personal Telepresence and quality communication services, is offering a new low-cost approach to telemedicine called VidyoHealth™, which provides a secure HD videoconferencing system platform for medical use.

No longer will doctors or their patients have to purchase expensive videoconferencing systems with costly cameras and sound systems. VidyoHealth™ will provide face-to-face examinations, where doctors can remotely examine patients.

“There are people in Hawaii who live miles away from medical facilities, especially on the neighbor islands, and VidyoHealth™ will allow patients to use their existing laptops or desktop computers and internet access to talk one-on-one with their doctors,” saysSidney Higa, President of Spae International Communications.

VidyoHealth™runs on standard PCs and Macs by accessing application software running on standard servers. It is an affordable scalable telemedicine videoconferencing suite that leverages the Internet and other general-purpose IP networks, for a broad range of applications such as telepsychiatry, home-health and eldercare, speech therapy, and specialist consultations.

By eliminating the need for a dedicated telehealth network infrastructure, VidyoHealth easily and effectively reduces costs while enabling doctor-patient and doctor-doctor video communication and collaboration, regardless of location. VidyoHealth is a secure, complete solution that delivers telepresence-quality telemedicine applications on PC and Mac desktops and laptops, HD room systems, medical carts and consoles.

VidyoHealth™ comes from Vidyo®, the first multipoint videoconferencing solution designed to work on a range of user environments over any general-purpose IP network, delivering high-quality experiences at lower costs. No matter where you, your colleagues or customers may be in the world, Vidyo® provides a face-to-face experience, fostering collaboration at a moment’s notice.
