HealthPresence gives practitioners the ability to examine patients in detail. Eyes, ears and skin can be examined to a level that allows clinicians to confidently diagnose the patient's physiological state. This equipment requires a technician to be on-hand, but not a qualified GP.
Dr Webster said: "This system will improve efficiency. At present there is a lot of time spent travelling, either by the patient or the healthcare professional. By allowing access to healthcare locally in a way that is acceptable to patients and healthcare professionals we can provide a safe effective service with minimal inconvenience to either party."
