Most people have access to basic telecommunications technology, like telephones, internet, and computers. But many telemedicine solutions require more equipment than just those basics. Here’s a quick review of the types of telemedicine equipment a healthcare provider may need to purchase to get started.
Telemedicine carts designed to support in- and out patient care
Telemedicine Carts
More complex telemedicine solutions, especially those used by larger health systems, usually require a telemedicine cart. This piece of telemedicine equipment gives providers a mobile frame and storage system to carry cameras, computers monitors, keyboards, computers, and mobile medical devices.. Physicians can wheel these carts from room-to-room as they meet with patients and need to either record and transmit a patient’s medical data, or include a consulting physician from another location in the patient visit.
In some cases, a patient might have a telemedicine station set-up in their own home for easy access.
Telemedicine Carts
This flexible solution is preferred by physicians – it’s easy to maneuver and doesn’t require learning a new interface.

Ideal for on site clinics, retail health, or pharmacy care
As more companies and retail clinics offer telemedicine solutions, many are adding on-site telemedicine kiosks.
From the outside, these kiosks look a little like photo booths, and are usually stocked with all the equipment and commonly used mobile medical devices needed for a telemedicine visit.
These kiosks are expensive and often only purchased by large companies or retail clinics to extend healthcare offerings to employees and pharmacy customers.
In order to do any sort of video conferencing, you need a webcam at the very least. Some telemedicine providers offer high-end, high-resolution digital cameras for crystal-clear video capture. Others offer specialized medical examination tools with integrated cameras that allow healthcare professionals to take detailed medical images (for example, of the inside of a patient’s ear) and then share them with a specialist at another location. Because this kind of equipment is very expensive and often requires use by a medical professional, it’s usually used for store-and-forward telemedicine solutions between two healthcare providers.
