Telemedicine and e-Health are transforming the way in which health related services are provided throughout the United States and between countries. We help our clients develop and use telemedicine applications for disease management, home telemetry, virtual ICU, state of the art diagnostics, on-line consultation, and remote diagnosis, monitoring and treatment that encompasses not only rural health locations, but nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Telemedicine information, imaging and data exchanges pose complex technological, legal and regulatory challenges as does the multi-jurisdictional licensing or health professionals. Butzel Long’s Health Industry Group helps telemedicine vendors, customers and e-Health enterprises design and implement compliant interactive telemedicine and e-Health systems that use an array of communications instruments, from ordinary telephones and televisions to broadband Internet connections, 3G-driven iPhones, satellite technology, video-conferencing equipment.
