## FAQ — Nursing Home Telemedicine
What equipment is needed in the nursing home?
A rolling cart with screen, HD camera, and connected medical devices (stethoscope, ECG, dermatoscope, otoscope, oximeter). Plugs into power, connects via Wi-Fi. No heavy infrastructure.
Does telemedicine replace the coordinating doctor?
No. MedConnect complements the existing setup: nights, weekends, and specialist opinions via Omnidoc. The coordinating doctor keeps their role.
Do residents accept teleconsultation?
Yes. The resident stays in their room, a familiar environment. The nurse present ensures human contact. Less stressful than a hospital transfer.
How much does nursing home telemedicine cost?
About €10 per teleconsultation. The cart is quoted based on your specific configuration.
Does MedConnect integrate with our existing records system?
MedConnect integrates with major facility management systems. Resident data, reports, and vitals sync automatically, at no extra cost. Contact us about your specific EMR.
