Coming Soon to healthdirect Video Call
Find out what is coming soon to Video Call - including added functionality and design updates
Far end camera control improvements
The Far end camera control application allows hosts in a call to control a remote camera that has Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) capability. The application will soon be improved to include voice control and the ability for any participant in the call to request control of another participant's camera.
This example shows a remote PTZ capable camera being controlled using the joystick controller. | ![]() |
Decibel sound meter application
In collaboration with SA Health, we will soon be introducing a Video Call decibel sound meter application that can be used for speech therapy and other clinical use cases. This application can be used to provide clinical information about a person's vocal volume and can be used as an assessment or feedback tool. Some example screenshots are shown below:
Once the application is launched, you can select to either Speak or Listen. The patient will only have the Speak option. | ![]() |
Once Speak or Listen is selected, the option to select the preferred microphone on the speaker's device appears. Either the patient or clinician end can select the required option. |
|
The application then starts to measure the volume of the speaker's voice and shows the data live in a dial and waveform graph. | ![]() |
