A major southeastern University School of Medicine wanted to establish a system for effective communication and collaboration between their consulting doctors at the University and affiliated rural clinics. The goal was to improve healthcare in the state by providing high-risk patients in geographically isolated areas with access to expert consultations where they had been previously unavailable.

To address these needs, Wave Three introduced the University to its Session™ communication software. Session™ is a unique solution in the telemedicine and medical research space, providing doctors and other practitioners with exceptionally high quality real-time conferencing and imaging applications. Session™ provides unmatched flexibility supporting Voice over IP, Video over IP, application sharing, and media sharing in a single application. Moreover, Session™ provides this utility without special purpose equipment or significant costs.

The University uses Session™ software to provide expert consultation for high-risk pregnancies in rural areas throughout the southeastern United States. High quality, real time audio and video allow OB/GYN's to interview the patient and interact with nurse practitioners in remote locations. Real-time video capabilities are also used to transit diagnostic information such as live ultrasounds. Session's™ application sharing tool, ShareApp™ lets University doctors directly update patient records located at the patient treatment site. Session™'s whiteboard tool, MediaSpace™, facilitates patient education through the sharing of images, recorded video and other media that help patients visualize and better understand their own medical situations.
