Visionflex medical device use case examples
Use Visionflex medical devices in your Video Call to enrich the telehealth experience
There are various workflows and use cases for sharing Visionflex medical devices, which can be used in a Video Call for health examinations. Please see some examples below:
General Examination Camera HD
This medical imaging device allows the operator to perform a wide range of examinations while the camera is shared in a Video Call. A health service provider, such as a GP or nurse, who is with a patient can share the camera into a Video Call with a specialist in another location, to help with diagnosis and treatment guidance.
The General Examination Camera (GEIS) has a wide range of clinical uses, some which are outlined below:
1. Skin Examination using switch camera

Digital Stethoscope
Please note this functionality is under testing with Video Call and will work in all clinics soon.
Connecting a digital stethoscope in a Video Call allows a remote specialist to listen to clear, high definition audio of the patient's heartbeat. It involves switching your microphone to the stethoscope, once it is plugged in and ready. Open Settings during a call and select the stethoscope from your available microphone options - and remember to switch back to you preferred main microphone once the stethoscope is no longer required in the call.
