The live video communication technology was not enough to provide any in-person or complete medical care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, sometimes the patient does not feel comfortable having an examination over video chat.

As per a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/metro\/2015\/10\/05\/study-puts-dollar-value-time-spent-waiting-for-doctor\/If7KB4aU9mkY5qK8CqDYUO\/story.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harvard research study<\/span><\/a>,<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it has been found that each doctor visit takes 121 minutes of a patient&#8217;s time wherein patients spend only 20 mins with the doctor on average.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<p><b> Addition Revenue Stream<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The doctors can treat more patients quickly with virtual visits or phone calls which take very minimal time than traditional visits and offer a direct connection to patients without consuming much space.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<p><b> Great Cut-down on Readmissions<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telehealth allows doctors to stay in closer contact with more patients, which gives a huge opportunity to assess emerging symptoms and spot early problems before there is a need for serious medical treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<p><b> Increase in Workflow<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These telemedicine apps are designed in such a way that it quickly identifies the patient&#8217;s reason for calling depending upon which prioritized care can be delivered, which eventually increases the work efficiency of the doctor or nurses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, after having a brief discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of telemedicine applications. Let&#8217;s have some insight into the technical part.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Telemedicine_Software_with_Its_Technical_Stacks_for_Any_Healthcare_Application\"><\/span><b>Telemedicine Software with Its Technical Stacks for Any Healthcare Application<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s the technical stack that makes the functionalities more perfect and convenient. However, it is not mandatory that all healthcare applications should have a particular technical stack to act in the backend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, still, there are some considerable sets of technology that are mostly preferred. Let&#8217;s have a look at some of them for a better understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h4><b> Erlang<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a general-purpose programming language that is meant to create a typical application for communication. It is built-in with a supportive mode for concurrency and distribution with fault tolerance. This technology is made in use with a variety of the largest telecommunication systems from Ericsson.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h4><b> Ejabberd\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being an XMPP application server and an MQTT broker, Ejabberd is mainly written in the Erlang programming language. It mostly takes care of the message delivery system over any local area network. It simplifies the complicated administration and key usage statistics using an easy-to-use and customizable management module for administrators.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h4><b> YAWS<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YAWS is a web server that&#8217;s written in Erlang by Klocke. It can be integrated into other Erlang-based applications or can also be run as a standalone web server. YAWS system is highly capable to handle concurrent processes in the most efficient way to have a high-end performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h4><b> PHP\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PHP is a Hypertext Preprocessor which is one of the widely-used open source languages. The technology is free to download and use and can be executed easily on any server. It is a popular language known for its performance and reliability that creates a strong and powerful web development technology when collaborating with AJAX to display the data from the database.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h4><b> XMPP Server\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XMPP belongs to an open standard that stands for Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol. It supports instant messaging and near-real-time chat while maintaining the exchange of XML data over a network. The server also provides basic messaging services with presence and XML routing features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are many more technologies out there in the market but, the above discussed are the most commonly used ones. Furthermore, let\u2019s see why you must consider MirrorFly for your telemedicine application.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Reasons_to_Choose_MirrorFly_APIs_for_Your_Telemedicine_App\"><\/span><b>Key Reasons to Choose MirrorFly APIs for Your Telemedicine App!<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where telemedicine apps have stretched their reach across the world, every healthcare industry is looking out to build its own healthcare application. Of course, it\u2019s not an easy task to make a decision as it involves certain key factors to rely on including,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"color: revert; font-size: revert;\">End-to-end Security: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For any healthcare application, security is one of the major factors to be checked upon. So, when it comes to MirrorFly APIs they ensure a high level of security protocol with HIPAA compliance across its APIs and SDKs. This protects patients&#8217; healthcare information including confidential medical documents, diagnostic reports, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"color: revert; font-size: revert;\">On-Cloud\/On-premises Hosting Service: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storage of data comes at the second most priority for any telemedicine app development. Thus, considering the same MirrorFly offers options in hosting &#8211; your cloud or our cloud to store the conversations and related data as per your preference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"color: revert; font-size: revert;\">High-level of Scalability: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scalability refers to user retention, and it places a very important role in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirrorfly.com\/blog\/real-time-communication\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">real-time communication<\/a> sector. Our solution is highly capable to get you over 1 billion + users across the world with multiple platforms guaranteeing non-comprisable quality and connection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"color: revert; font-size: revert;\">Effortless Integration: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To develop any telemedicine application it is very essential for the APIs to be compatible to get integrated into any third-party or pre-built devices like iOS, Android, and web applications. Thus, MirrorFly offers simple guided documentation that will have a detailed integration process to proceed with integration. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"color: revert; font-size: revert;\">Effortless Migration: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, when you decide to migrate from your existing provider, our solution will take care of the complete end-to-end migration process wherein your conversations and data will be transferred safely without any data loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"color: revert; font-size: revert;\">Pricing: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being comfortable at pricing is the best thing you can ever have while developing your telemedicine app. Thus, MirrorFly&#8217;s pricing comes with two preferable options &#8211; self-managed (one-time license cost) and on-cloud (pay-as-you-go), where you can make a choice depending upon your business demands.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Words\"><\/span><b>Final Words!<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope now you would have gotten better exposure to telemedicine app usage, technology, and more in the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, now all these concepts excite you to create your own telemedicine apps. I believe this post could be a guide for you to do further research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what are you waiting for?
