Telemedicine made easy and accessible with Nexy

Nexy is not only a fundus camera, but it also offers a telemedicine service which transmits digital retina images to a server in a secure way.

One fundamental issue in the adoption of telemedicine is the confidentiality and protection of patient’s data.

In our case patient’s data are encrypted on client side, this means that personal data are crypted on the tablet, before their sending to the server.

They will be read from the remote ophthalmologist who has the key for the decryption.

But this doctor can see only retina images and some data useful for the evaluation (not sensitive data).

The evaluation will be sent back where nexy is located.

This makes nexy a reliable telemedicine-friendly device.

Let’s embrace technology today and gain a healthier tomorrow!
