Why is the healthcare industry one of the most advanced when it comes to using video collaboration to drive business, namely patient care? I think the answer is three fold:
The healthcare video here shows how the medical staff are leveraging tablet technology, according to Comp TIA in 2012 25% of healthcare practices were already using tablet devices. With Gartner’s prediction that PCs, tablets, ultramobiles and mobile phones will reach 2.5 billion units shipped in 2014 the number being used in industries such as healthcare is set to sky rocket.
Ease of use is now a key part of the equation, Polycom provides free of charge from Android and Apple stores our enterprise grade video collaboration software. Add to this, Polycom innovations such as SmartPairing that allows a user to easily move a video call from your tablet device and easily add that caller to a group of people meeting on a room based system, tablet devices start to become a very powerful tool when conducting and controlling video collaboration.
Applications and uses such as those depicted in this video are only the start as businesses look to harness the power of human collaboration.
