The uniqueness of the project is caused by a large number and a variety of the involved products from Microsoft, IBM, Symantec, HP, Panasonic, Sony, Pioneer, Hitachi, TrippLite, JBL, YAMAHA and other partners.

Opinion

"Creation of a system of telemedicine in NKTs Russian Railway — an important step in development not only health care systems in Russian Railway, but also all TM direction in Russia. Now we will be able to train professionals in the field. The center also allowed us to exchange experience with high quality doctors from other regions and even the countries, without leaving NKTs building. NVision Group – our old, checked partner. The implemented solution once again met our expectations" — Valery Stolyar, the chief specialist of department of health care on telemedicine and information technologies of NKTs Russian Railway tells.

Technical details

Within the project the Nvision Group company prepared several premises for holding communication sessions:

• The conference room is equipped with a projector using DLP technology, the plasma TV duplicating a video information for presidium and two LCD monitors for the translator and the operator of the hall. Thanks to a management system it is possible to use the premises according to different scenarios, practically saving employees from accomplishment of non-core tasks. Start and control of implementation of scenarios are performed by means of the touchpad in a cabin of the operator. The used management system is scalable – further it can be added with functions of control of artificial lighting, climate, etc.

• Three educational audiences of the center are executed on typical circuit which allows to use the equipment as locally, and in the VKS mode.

• The new hall of the academic council with expanded use of wireless technologies for transfer of the interface signals from a table of meetings.

• The hall of telemedicine consultations for rendering remote medical care using means of VKS.

For connection to the telemedicine center of the premises which are not equipped with the VIDEOCONFERENCING regular system (for example, for radiology offices), the mobile equipment including a rack with the display, the camera, the notebook and the radiomicrophone is developed. This complex allows to carry out online broadcasts of diagnostic procedures for regions.
