• Store-and-forward telemedicine services collect clinical data, store them, and then forward them to be interpreted later. These services provide the ability to capture and store digital still or video images of patients, as well as audio and text data.
• Video Conferencing services are a telecommunications link where a provider and individual interact via live Telemedicine videoconferencing Systems. ViTel Net has developed technology for integrating vital signs, and various medical peripherals in video conference calls to provide Real-time interactive telemedicine. This allows an immediate result to be obtained.  

Trauma victims have the best chance of survival if the right resources and expertise intervene within the "golden hour," the first hour after injury. However, in rural areas resources and experts are scarce, forcing smaller emergency departments to waste critical time transporting patients to the nearest city with a trauma center.  

A closed-circuit system of videoconferencing and remote monitoring equipment serves to link to specialists, in real-time, giving consulting trauma specialist pertinent clinical information enabling help guide care for injured patients, reducing the amount of time it takes for a patient to receive specialist trauma treatment in rural areas.  

Visual images and vitals are sent electronically in real-time. The camera can be controlled on either end, allowing doctors to examine all areas on the patient and provide consultation. Images are calibrated to give exact measurements, and areas of concern can be magnified for easier viewing. 

The Tele-Trauma/Emergency system, will save lives, increase efficiency, and bring an improved level of care to patients in trauma situations.
