I’ve spent some time traveling to various healthcare conferences the last couple of months, exploring and learning more about telehealth.  At the American Telemedicine Association conference in Chicago in April, one phrase caught my ear: “Video is Data.” I don’t recall who I heard say it first, but the phrase and its meaning were repeated in several sessions I attended.  I’d like to explore with you the implications of this statement on telehealth applications. The

With WebRTC, you have a number of options for adding more than one user to the connection in order to make it a multi-party video call.  Mesh is probably the most obvious solution for adding other users to the connection. As you already know, for the connection to be possible, each peer that uses the RTCPeerConnection specifically API, must create a connection object. This connection object adds all the relevant information, such as video and

In a recent press release we talked about Train-With, an Online Fitness Training Platform we are developing. Following with that, we want to share our experience and this technical review of the CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service) we used for that project, Agora.io. DECISION PROCESS For this fitness iOS application,  currently public in the Apple Store, we decided to use a CPaaS provider to speed-up development and come up with a robust production ready

Do you remember you first love? I do and it goes hand in hand with webRTC Signaling. When I was a little child, there was a girl in another class, beautiful brown eyes and short hair. My friend knew her. So in order to be able to talk with her directly, I first asked my friend to give her an "offer" message from me: "Tell her I want to talk with her. Also tell her I'm smart and

Common WebRTC Use Cases: Follow Up Visits Readmission rates to hospitals are a leading cause of unnecessary health care spending and can be easily reduced by webRTC use. Even multiple trips

Since the start of the Internet, the browser has been with us as our sail mate in the turbulent waters of the web. First Netscape to the friendly fellows of Chrome, Opera, and Firefox to the not so neighborly Safari and Internet Explorer, the browser in its several forms is the key to our internet adventure. To talk about the importance of the browser let me introduce the three APIs that make this possible: GetUserMedia

Before WebRTC, (Real Time Communication over the Web) we should remember that previously, in order to communicate with other people over the internet using video and audio (a.k.a. a "Video Call"), the first thing you needed to do was install additional software. So, imagine the situation: You go to Google and type something like 'How do I install software X'. In the perfect world, you would get official download links from a vendor's website, however

Healthcare Data Breaches Affect Providers of All Sizes. Within the last few years, there were major data breaches of large healthcare providers like Anthem, Premera Blue Cross, and Excellus BlueCross Blueshield. But it's not only the major providers hackers may target. Smaller medical practices can be a target too, and as more of them adopt telehealth applications, it's important they do not become easy targets for sophisticated hackers. It is therefore crucial to know what you must

Hackers abound on the internet, and they don’t just want your credit card numbers.  Hackers profit directly from stealing bank or credit card information. However, with healthcare or other personal data, they profit by selling that data on the “dark web” to other hackers who may use that personal information as part of identity theft operations. Healthcare data breaches are a major concern for privacy and financial reasons, to both the patient and to the
