We are excited to announce the release of our third factsheet focusing on reducing the environmental impact of patient travel through telemedicine solutions.
This factsheet highlights that transport-related activities contribute to 20% of healthcare’s CO2 emissions, with patient travel accounting for 7%. Telemedicine can significantly cut these emissions by up to 60%, while improving medical outcomes by 25%.
To promote this transition, CARING NATURE partner, Gemelli has developed TELE-ME NOW, an all-in-one telemedicine solution. This compact 35×35 cm suitcase includes a multimedia electronic healthcare record system that integrates with existing medical devices and supports real-time remote patient care, lower costs and reduce healthcare’s carbon footprint.
