Using medical video communication systems for remote diagnosis has the potential to significantly increase a person’s quality of care. This is especially true in remote areas and in developing countries, where access to specialised medical care is simply unavailable. Here, the development of cost-effective, portable video-diagnostic systems can have a catalytic effect for preventive, mass population ultrasound screening, thus reducing, for example, mortality rates attributed to undiagnosed cardiovascular diseases.
