March 3, 2023 – Avail Medystems has been awarded a national group purchasing agreement for telehealth/telemedicine with Premier, Inc. Effective January 1, 2023, the new agreement allows Premier members, at their discretion, to take advantage of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier for placement of Avail’s telepresence technology in operating rooms and use of Avail to livestream procedures to providers throughout a facility or across health systems for medical education, training and clinical collaboration.
Avail’s telepresence technology enables physicians and the MedTech industry to be virtually present in operating or procedure rooms. Clinical teams can invite remote healthcare providers and medical device experts to learn, share knowledge, collaborate, or provide product expertise by joining live procedures, both audibly and visually.
Avail is a complete hardware and software telepresence system that securely connects human expertise and digital tools in, and out of, the operating room. The mobile Avail console is equipped with built-for-the OR audio and video, enabling remote OR access while serving as a platform for digital tools including procedural imaging and software applications like AI and machine learning. Remote physicians and device industry representatives join procedures conveniently from their laptop or tablet and control high-resolution video and view procedural imaging and software, sharing those views with the clinical team on a large console monitor. The complete system adheres to high security and privacy standards including encrypted communications, HIPAA compliance, and SOC2 Type 2.
