Healthcare providers and their workforce are overstretched in many countries. AfriMed has the potential to address these healthcare workforce issues and to achieve three major goals that are before the whole healthcare system:• to provide better healthcare,• to improve health outcomes,• and to lower costs.Our main goal at AfriMed is to provide health care services from a distance using telecommunication technologies. These type or services are divided into four categories:• Live video• Store-and-forward• Remote patient monitoring (RPM)• Mobile health (mHealth)Live video is when a patient connects with a provider in real-time using his computer or cellphone. This type of services can be used to supply immediate first contact consultations, on which physicians evaluate patients in order to determine if some sort of traditional healthcare service is required, or as a follow-up to review the evolution of a patient's treatment.Store-and-Forward is the delivery of patients' medical records from one provider to another, outside of the real-time channel. This type of service can be used when a physician requires of the insights of a specialist on a remote location.Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is the collection of health data from a patient in a remote location by a provider. This type of service is useful in senior care or in any other condition where moving the patient is complicated.Mobile health (mHealth) refers to the use of smart devices, such as smartphones or smartwatches, for tracking vitals. All this usually done by the patient without the intervention of a provider.These types of services play an important role in disease surveillance, treatment support, epidemic outbreak tracking and chronic diseasemanagement, which in turn can help to reduce costs and extend medical coverage.
