What kind of space is needed for the live, interactive consultations at the remote location where the patient is seen?
At the remote site, space is required in order to conduct a private examination of the patient. The room should be of sufficient size to accommodate not only the patient, but also the necessary equipment and the telemedicine presenter. Lighting is also an important consideration. Fluorescent lighting creates good video and the bulbs should be 3200 to 4700 degrees Kelvin. Most fluorescent lights are directed down into a room and this often results in darkened eyes. Ideally, lights are better if they provide indirect lighting by being directed to reflect off the ceiling. Other options include front lighting or lights mounted on the walls.
