Case Study: swyMed improves telemedicine outcomes with Microsoft Surface Pro, Azure, and Visual Studio

Telemecicine solution improves hea th outcomes by connecting remote patients with specialists

swyMed aimed to expand telemedicine into remote and mobile settings to address the critical challenge of lost treatment time for stroke victims and other patients in areas with limited healthcare access. To build its solution, the company partnered with Microsoft Corporation, utilizing a range of products including Microsoft Visual Studio for development and the Windows operating system.

Using Microsoft Visual Studio, the swyMed team developed a reliable video conferencing solution. They chose the Microsoft Surface Pro as their hardware for its portability, robust connectivity, and long battery life, integrating it into a specialized telemedicine backpack. This Microsoft-based solution allows for real-time specialist evaluations from ambulances and remote locations, dramatically improving health outcomes. The implementation also resulted in significant cost savings, with the swyMed solution costing approximately $12,500 per ambulance compared to $50,000 for competing options.
