Every time a patient’s heart beats, the resultant pulse of blood emits a blush under the skin that is invisible to the naked eye but recognizable by a camera. 

Armed with this understanding and using only the camera and processing power already inherent in a common device such as a smartphone or tablet, the use of Intelomed’s mCVInsight telemedicine tool permits a physician to measure empirical patient health information such as pulse rate and respiration rate.

Because this examination no longer requires contact with the patient, these measurements can be captured and transmitted remotely, maximizing the comfort and convenience of the patient while minimizing exposure to infection for both patient and caregiver.
