In three steps, assisted teleconsultation enables a complete medical diagnosis without the doctor being physically present. 1 ### The healthcare professional visits the patient At home, in a nursing home, or in a clinic. They open the MedConnect kit or power up the cart and start the session. 2 ### The doctor joins via video The doctor connects remotely. They see the patient on video and receive real-time data from connected devices: ECG, auscultation, vital signs, dermatoscopic images. 3 ### Diagnosis and prescription in real time The doctor makes their diagnosis during the consultation, prescribes if needed, and the report is automatically generated in the patient record.

Assisted teleconsultation is a telehealth act where a healthcare professional (nurse, medical assistant) is physically present with the patient using connected diagnostic devices, while a doctor observes and interprets data remotely in real time via video. It's a real clinical examination at a distance — not just a video call. What equipment is needed? At minimum: a computer or tablet with camera, a stable internet connection, and certified telehealth software. For a full remote clinical exam, add connected devices: digital stethoscope, ECG, vital signs monitor, dermatoscope, otoscope. MedConnect provides pre-configured kits and carts with all devices integrated. Who can assist the teleconsultation? Registered nurses, medical assistants, pharmacists, and other qualified healthcare professionals can assist teleconsultations, depending on the regulatory framework and the type of examinations performed. Is this suitable for nursing homes? It's one of the most common use cases. With a telehealth cart on-site, nursing staff perform the examination and the doctor intervenes remotely. This avoids up to 85% of unnecessary hospital transfers. How much does it cost to set up? An entry configuration (backpack + essential devices + software platform) starts from €3,000 ex-VAT. Most public health deployments qualify for grant coverage or subsidies. Contact us for a quote tailored to your situation. ## Want to see assisted teleconsultation in action?
