Information technology has made<br />

significant contributions to our world,<br />

namely in the medical industry. With the<br />

increased use of electronic medical<br />

records (EMR), telehealth services, and<br />

mobile technologies like tablets and smart<br />

phones, physicians and patients are both<br />

seeing the benefits that these new medical<br />

technologies are bringing.<br />

Medical technology has evolved from<br />

introducing doctors to new equipment to<br />

use inside private practices and hospitals<br />

to connecting patients and doctors<br />

thousands of miles away through<br />

telecommunications. It is not uncommon in<br />

today’s world for patients to hold video<br />

conferences with physicians to save time<br />

and money normally spent on traveling to<br />

another geographic location or send health<br />

information instantaneously to any<br />

specialist or doctor in the world.<br />

<strong>GIHS</strong> Clinics wanna utilize these<br />

technologies to work with the leading<br />

medical university hospitals in close<br />

cooperation. This should ensure that the<br />

latest medical knowledge will be<br />

continuously transferred to ghana.<br />

MELODY is a modular robotised tele-echography system.<br />

It is currently AdEchoTech’s lead product. This solution was devised by drawing on<br />

the skills (in medical expertise, electronic and robotic expertise, business expertise,<br />

and so on) required to create an ergonomic tool to help both patients and the<br />

medical profession.<br />

There are various versions of MELODY adapted to each situation so as to optimise<br />

use and efficiency. AdEchoTech sells a complete robotised tele-echography<br />

solution, comprising:<br />

The MELODY Patient site system<br />

The MELODY Expert site system<br />

The videoconference system<br />

The ultrasound imaging station fully adapted to the echography (comprising<br />

remote adjustment).<br />

The MELODY solution can of course be sold separately of the videoconference<br />

system and the ultrasound imaging station depending upon the needs of the client<br />

and the equipment they already have.<br />

complex public health care hospitals.<br />
