IMImobile offers free eClinic software amid pandemic

Posted on by Andrea Putnam-Moorcroft

Global cloud communications software and solutions provider IMImobile PLC, today announces that its healthcare division, Healthcare Communications, has launched its eClinic software to NHS trusts for free for a year. The video consultation software allows for patients to see their clinicians via online consultations, from the comfort and safety of their own homes. This means that regular health checks and medical reporting can continue even if patients or healthcare professionals are self-isolating.

“The clinicians feel that the ability to provide clear instructions to the patient by in-consultation text chat and transferring information leaflets using the file transfer facility makes this consultation mode safer. The ability to share the screen to show the patients their x-rays etc has also proved to be invaluable.”
