Net Medical Xpress (OTCBB: NMXS), a developer of medical IT
solutions and services, has implemented Tely Labs' telyMed™
videoconferencing system as part of its new range of remote,
telemedicine-based clinical and diagnostic programs for hospitals.
By adding the unique capabilities of the telyMed video
collaboration capabilities, Net Medical Xpress physicians can now
undertake virtual live consultations, diagnoses and patient
interactions, bringing beneficial and potentially life-saving
specialist services to facilities where these were previously
unavailable.
Since Net Medical Xpress began using the telyMed product in
early 2012, the hospitals they serve have been able to avoid
transferring patients to other healthcare facilities in 106 out of
114 video consult cases, a 93% success rate. These include four
instances of administering the clot-busting drug tPA (tissue
plasminogen activator) -- which can be fatal if not correctly
prescribed -- following video diagnoses with remote specialists. So
far, client hospitals have generated retained patient revenues of
more than ten times the costs of the Net Medical Xpress service
using Tely Labs' telyMed solution.
"The telyMed appliance is the first video calling solution that
makes it simple, secure and affordable for healthcare organizations
to connect to remote medical teams for potentially lifesaving
interactions," said Dick Govatski, CEO of Net Medical Xpress. "If
hospitals can quickly gain access to expert diagnosis, take
immediate remedial action, and not disrupt patients' lives by
transferring them to facilities far away from home, it's a winning
formula."
Breakthrough in Affordable Telemedicine
"We believe the telyMed solution is an important breakthrough for
telemedicine because it makes the benefits of video collaboration
available to a far wider range of hospitals and clinics, at a
fraction of the cost of legacy solutions," said Sreekanth Ravi,
Tely Labs CEO. "We are very pleased that Net Medical Xpress is
building telemedicine services around telyMed to deliver
life-saving treatment."
Medical practitioners can use the telyMed system to connect
remotely to any Skype-enabled device for consultation anytime,
anywhere, as well as connect to high-end videoconferencing systems
via the industry standard SIP protocol. The system also includes a
remote pan, tilt and zoom feature for close examination of physical
symptoms. Net Medical Xpress has integrated telyMed into its XR
Express PACS software system that allows the secure exchange of
medical information between healthcare facilities and remote
consultants.
"For the hospitals and clinics we serve, telyMed has helped
lower medical specialist response times to as little as ten
minutes," says Dr. David McCraney, Chief Neurologist at Net Medical
Xpress. "Without Net Medical and telyMed, it's safe to say hundreds
of patients in the past year would have been denied access to
potentially lifesaving medication. These patients received
treatment because we offer a solution that hospitals can afford and
it works."
telyMed is now available through Tely Labs' growing network of
authorized resellers. telyMed is sold as a software upgrade to Tely
Labs' flagship telyHD Consumer Edition and telyHD Business Edition
appliances, and is priced at $299, with a $199 annual renewal fee
from the second year onwards. More information can be found at

Tely Labs will demonstrate the telyMed solution at the American
Telemedicine Association (ATA) annual conference in Austin, TX, May
5-7, in booth #511. Net Medical Xpress will exhibit in booth
#407.
