SHEMER Medical Center
Telehealth - the performance of health-related services through telecommunications technology, has opened up the doors of many practices in the health industry. The implementation of Telehealth services has had a particularly favorable impact on the medical tourism industry, where patients travel abroad to receive treatments. By eliminating communication barriers, Telehealth enables these patients to receive remote healthcare services from their medical provider abroad, which can ultimately enhance the quality and efficiency of treatment that they receive during their medical trip.
The Shemer Medical Center - a leading medical tourism provider in Israel, has put the Telehealth video conferencing services into practice, with the objective of obtaining better background knowledge about the patients coming in for treatments, and being able to offer those patients more comprehensive and higher quality pre and post treatment services.
The video conferencing capabilities enable the patients to get the most out of their experience with the Shemer Medical Center through a wide range of services, including the opportunity to virtually meet their personal medical consultants and physicians face-to-face, prior to their actual physical arrival.

In addition, the Telehealth Video Conference facilitates Shemer’s staff, physicians and surgeons in assessing the patient’s condition and planning his/her medical treatment accordingly by means of general visual evaluations, and consultations with the patient’s existing doctors.
Once the patient has arrived for treatment at Shemer’s facilities in Israel, Telehealth video conferencing can be used to keep concerned family members - who did not accompany the patient - updated about his/her condition, by enabling them to stay in touch with the patient, his/her doctors, or escorting family members.
In efforts to keep each patient healthy, even after their return home, Shemer offers remote post-treatment follow-up consultations with the patient.
