How to remotely view data from a connected multi-function device
During a Video Call consultation, you have the option to view data from a patient using a connected multi-function device in real time. Multi-function medical devices integrate multiple measurement functions. Once you launch the Remote Vitals application and instruct your patient to connect their bluetooth or USB enabled health device to the Video Call, you will see the results live in the call screen, or access the history on the device (if supported by the device). You have the option to manage control for participants, take a screenshot for the patient's record, export data and more.
