Equipment Required

A PC, Mac or laptop running the latest operating systems, a video camera and a microphone and speakers. Most laptops have a camera and microphone and speakers inbuilt as does every Mac. For a PC you should purchase a Logitech HD Pro 910 video camera costing around $120. The audio component of the teleconference is best conducted with a telephone. This can be placed in speaker mode so that the patient can both hear and ask questions. iPads iPhone and the Motorola Xoom can do some elements of telemedicine but not all.
