Polycom’s MedLink™ is designed for the medical community. MedLink allows remote specialists to meet face to face with patients, physicians, nurse practitioners and other medical professionals. MedLink can also be used for emergency room diagnosis, remote observation of patients in isolation, high risk areas or secure locations and to deliver educational presentations to medical students. Its flexible design provides ample connections for any medical peripheral that has a composite video or XGA resolution output: stethoscopes, transtelephonic ECG/EKG devices, X-ray film digitizer and vital signs monitors. High quality resolution video and crisp clear audio provide for natural interaction; secure lockable consolidated storage keeps medical devices safe and secure and a user friendly display mounted on a radial arm tilts in all directions for ease of positioning. The MedLink is flexible and is ideal for chronic and acute medical care. The MedLink with iPower is built on a PC platform and displays all content, medical records and presentations in native PC resolution.
