...Pulmonary Disease (COPD) - the group responsible for 10% of all hospital admissions in the country - can be treated at home using telemedicine technology. In a bare office in the hospital, Dr Phanareth monitors patients via a pulse oximeter device and a spirometer device (for lung function) that are blue-tooth enabled and linked through a secure web connection to the hospital. Using videoconference technology, he can guide the patients on whether to administer oxygen, nebulizer therapy and other treatments.
