Frost & Sullivan: Visual Collaboration in the Future of Healthcare

Frost & Sullivan to Host Analyst Briefing on Visual Collaboration in Healthcare Industry on Thursday, 1 April 2010 at 14.00 BST

LONDON, March 23, 2010 - Evolving patients' needs, limited number of medical specialists in remote
areas, and technological advances are some of the most important factors
driving interest in visual collaboration in healthcare. Patients become
keener to have faster access to professional advice and strive to achieve the
same convenience in healthcare they benefit from in other service industries.
From clinical practice of psychiatry, radiology, or cardiology among others,
to education at teaching hospitals, and research, visual collaboration is
making its way into healthcare services.

These market developments will be discussed during Frost & Sullivan's
next quarterly Analyst Briefing on the visual collaboration in healthcare
industry on Thursday, 1 April 2010, at 14.00 BST. The presentation will
include analyses of major market trends in visual collaboration in
healthcare, challenges, drivers and restraints that influence the market, and
also short description of how visual collaboration is being used in
healthcare.

"The healthcare industry around the world has to deal with increasing
challenges, like the aging population, shortage of healthcare providers in
remote areas or limited financial resources. To address those obstacles,
visual collaboration vendors are introducing new solutions that will enable
quick and easy access to healthcare services. To achieve a widespread
adoption of visual collaboration in healthcare, the market has to demonstrate
economic practicality, effectiveness, and acceptability of the solutions,"
says Iwona Petruczynik, Research Analyst for Enterprise Communication and
Collaboration group at global consulting company Frost & Sullivan.

This briefing will be of interest to visual collaboration vendors,
medical staff in hospitals, primary care physicians and specialists, by
presenting emerging trends and application of visual collaboration in
providing healthcare services.
