MedWand Solutions, is a company that for several years has been using their technology to upgrade and change the world of telemedicine.
Their device, designed by the company, was intended to shake up and change the healthcare industry. Anyone can use it, from the patient, or their household members, sending the data through the device’s user-friendly platform. It’s roughly the size of an old school computer mouse, and transmit data in real time so medical providers can review the results live with their patients.
The device saves the need for multiple devices, or a direct medical provider being present, as it can perform the tasks of tools and gain the readings listed below.
- Stethoscope, Otoscope, Dermatoscope, Throat illuminator with camera, IR thermometer, ECG, Pulse oximeter, SpO2, Pulse rate, and even Respiratory rate.
Now they are using their devices in a place where they are much needed, specifically in Rwanda. In Rwanda, medical aid and access is very limited. In partnership with CGFNS International, Inc. and Society for Family Health Rwanda, MedWand launched a pilot program at two health posts in the Bugesera district.
The MedWand telemedicine tool will let doctors remotely check a patient’s heart, lungs, temperature, and more—the initiative is helping patients get diagnosed and treated faster, lowering healthcare costs, and giving nurses the tools to lead primary care delivery. All while providing access in areas usually not given access to medicine.
