Ecuador Virginia : Commonwealth University Medical School, located in Richmond,
Virginia provides remote anesthesia monitoring services to Secua, Ecuador, using
TeleVital’s VitalWare technologies which monitors and records physiological data in
real-time over the Internet. A consulting anesthesiologist at the Virginia Commonwealth
University’s Medical College of Virginia Hospital monitored the breathing and heart
rhythms of a young woman undergoing a gall bladder operation 3,000 miles away in
Secua, Ecuador. The operation, which was performed in a remote area of Ecuador,
exemplifies how easy it is to connect to VitalWare. Using a laptop computer in Virginia,
a member of the surgical team logged into the TeleVital Website and monitored the
patient’s vital signs. This field test in Ecuador was part of ongoing telemedicine
evaluations conducted by VCU- based Medical Informatics and Technology Applications
Consortium (MITAC), a Commercial Space Center (CSC) sponsored by the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The project was conducted using
TeleVital’s VitalWare technology under the direction of MITAC Executive Director,
Charles R. Doarn.

Mexico : La Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla (BUAP), a leading academic
institution in Mexico for 450 years with a medical school in operation for over 170 years,
is recognized as one of the biggest medical universities in Mexico. BUAP’s Telemedicine
department provides health care and education services throughout Puebla, one of the
largest states in Mexico with a population over 3.5 million. The main telemedicine center
is in the Hospital Universitario de Puebla (HUP) and is supported by Hospital General de
la Secretaria de Salud, a hub clinic in Tehuacan. Currently remote medical consultations
are being conducted from Tehuacan, Libres and Chignahuapan with permanent
installations being deployed in Pahuatlan, Eloxochitlan, Tenampulco, and San Diego la
Mesa, Tochimiltzigo. The BUAP telemedicne hybrid network is made up of private and
public satellite and fiber-optic networks. TeleVital’s VitalWare technologies allow
BUAP to connect patients and doctors together from anywhere in Mexico and the United
States. Using VitalWare, BUAP is able to connect underserved rural towns with medical
specialists located in urban centers.
On August 26th, 2002 a 64 year old female patient located in the San Diego la Mesa
telemedicine center was triaged by Medical Doctors located in Hospital Universitario de
Puebla, Audiotorio de la Rectoria en Edificio, and the University of Galveston in Texas.
The patient’s vital-signs (blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and blood oxygen)
were recorded and streamed to all the Medical Doctors. During the oral examination
phase of the examination, the patients pulse rate doubled to 133 bpm. The rise in heart
rate was observed by all the doctors in real-time allowing them to discuss the patient’s
prognosis. A decision was made to run more blood tests in order to rule out a differential
diagnosis. On the same day, a second patient with a history of chest pain was admitted
into the telemedicine clinic in Carolino. A four limb EKG was conducted and streamed in
real-time allowing all the doctors to inspect and consult on the patients ECG. After a
short discussion, the doctors agreed that the patients ECG was normal and advised that
the patient reduce his stress.
