Alternative Therapy Gets Energy Boost from VSee Telehealth

Healing gardenWho would have thought that cutting edge technology and alternative healing could go hand in hand. At VSee we love it that unexpected use cases are always turning up with VSee’s simple group video chat tool. Recently, VSee was featured in the Repatterning Journal as a wonderful tool for the art of resonance repatterning – an alternative therapy to helping people live life more fully. Carolyn Winters, Repatterning Practitioner and Holographic Coach who has been using VSee to teach writes in the article Repatterning Journal article:

Our experience of Resonance Repatterning seminars online has been nothing short of amazing. I had the delightful experience of discussing this with an enthusiastic representative at VSee who explained the back story for the high frequency and coherence we are experiencing with this technology.

She adds on her own site:

A few of my coaching clients have also personally benefited from this technology as we have started to use face-to-face videoconferencing rather than Skype or the telephone. These sessions are so amazing because I can share the notes with you on the screen and if a modality requires a demonstration, easily show you what to do.

While it may seem an odd fit, Carolyn notes “Keeping pace with the new tools for learning and connecting, makes us better healers and recipients of healing. Knowing what is behind something new empowers us to use the tools that are effective.”

Intermountain Healthcare using VSee for Neonatal ICU (NICU)

Featured

At the recent American Telemedicine Association (ATA) conference in Austin, TX, Intermountain Healthcare gave an exciting demo of their innovative use of VSee for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Key to their setup was VSee’s ability to send multiple camera video streams at the same time.  Legacy systems such as Vidyo, Polycom, and Cisco can only send 1 camera feed at a time.

Dr. Stephen Minton, Intermountain neonatologist and director of newborn services, gave a talk at ATA and showcased several powerful medical work flows for VSee NICU that he helped design.  Intermountain’s 60-bed NICU renovation powered by VSee will be in operation in 3-4 months.

Three HD webcams are mounted on the isolette (for medical procedures) or warmer (holding crib) to show the baby from different angles and one webcam is aimed at the nurse/doctor for communicating with the remote neonatologist. The webcams are connected to a Mac mini and the entire setup is positioned such as to not take up space from working doctors and nurses.

For high-risk babies that need specialist care, such as a resuscitation procedure, it’s no longer necessary to do a costly, time-consuming transfer from a local hospital to the hospital where the neonatologist is located.  Instead, a neonatologist like Dr. Minton can easily extend his care to another hospital via VSee in a matter of seconds. Through live video streams coming from the different webcams, a seasoned specialist can direct a less experienced doctor in the procedure.

For anxious parents, the VSee telemedicine NICU can now offer them around the clock access to their infants. Parents often feel like they don’t have enough time to see their little ones during their NICU visits. Using VSee, parents and families can call in anytime to see their babies.  They can even hold the iPad in their arms as though they are holding their babies and sleep with them in bed.

Finally, for busy doctors, These NICU beds can be set to auto-receive calls securely only from them so they can check in on a little patient at any time.
