What Are Telehealth Platforms?

Telehealth platforms are digital systems enabling remote patient monitoring, virtual consultations, and real-time data analysis, used in settings like virtual ICUs and clinics to improve accessibility and patient care efficiency.

Telehealth platforms are transforming healthcare by enabling remote patient monitoring, virtual consultations, and real-time collaboration. They rely on data visualization to convert complex datasets—such as heart rates, oxygen levels (SPO2), and ECG/EKG charts—into clear Medical Dashboards. These visual tools help clinicians quickly assess patient conditions, identify trends, and make timely decisions.

In settings like virtual ICUs, continuous monitoring allows data to be accessed on mobile, tablet, or desktop devices, giving healthcare providers the flexibility to react swiftly. The use of JavaScript, WPF, and Android chart libraries is critical for creating responsive and reliable dashboards, while cross-platform support ensures consistent and accurate data presentation, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Continuous Analysis of Live, Streaming Clinical Data with SciChart Healthcare Dashboards

SciChart’s unparalleled speed, accuracy, and cross-platform capabilities as a medical charting library made it the clear choice for Philips Capsule Surveillance, a system that brings together detailed patient data, ECG/EKG waveforms, and device alarms into a single, unified view.

It was important for Philips to ensure both the accuracy and integrity of the data, even when processing large volumes in real-time. Using the world’s only high-performance, precision 64-bit data visualization library, they could be confident that their medical dashboards support the needs of their ambitious application.

Philips liked the fact that clinicians can access this data from a virtual ICU screen, tablet, or mobile device. They will also benefit from SciChart’s responsive, precise visualizations, overlays, and annotations, ensuring clarity and reliability in critical situations.

With a client base that includes 90% of the world’s leading MedTech companies, SciChart continues to solidify its position as a key player in the healthcare sector, where performance and accuracy are paramount. This integration with Philips further underscores SciChart’s commitment to supporting groundbreaking projects that make a significant impact in critical industries.

Benefits of Data Visualization in Telehealth

There are a multitude of benefits of using telehealth, and more and more healthcare organizations around the world are choosing to implement this into their systems.
