ABSTRACT:
A system for providing medical services to a patient at a location remote to a medical practitioner comprises a patient's station and a medical practitioner's station in communication with each other. Both stations are equipped with video and audio capability allowing both the practitioner and patient to see and hear one another. A variety of devices are present at both stations that enable the transmission of information between the parties. Several monitors, located at the patient's station, enable the practitioner to measure and monitor several health related parameters. A camera is mounted in the patient's station in front of a frame that holds the patient's driver's license or other forms of identification. Images of the patient's identifying documents are transmitted to the medical practitioner station to allow positive identification. Payment for medical services rendered is accomplished by using a credit card reader in the patient's station, supplying an accepted insurance card, or by obtaining an account number from the retailer who on whose premises the patient's station is located.
