Back to industry overview

Telemedicine relieves practices and hospitals when intake, video, documentation, and billing sit in one coherent flow. Patients expect easy booking; clinicians need legally sound documentation and clear separation from non-regulated advice.

We build telemedicine platforms with roles, consents, and secure archiving—optional links to card readers, ePA, or existing identity flows. WebRTC video visits and asynchronous communication (chat, result sharing) can be combined without unnecessarily duplicating sensitive data.

Typical challenge: solutions launched quickly during the pandemic often lack scaling, GDPR-compliant deletion, or PMS integration today. A sustainable platform separates scheduling, video infrastructure, and patient records cleanly—and scales peak load independently of clinical databases.

In multi-site centres and hospital groups, departments, waiting lists, and documentation duties differ—the platform must map visibility per role without exposing data from other areas.

Industry context & digitalisation

Telemedicine has moved from niche to standard in outpatient and inpatient care. Legal and insurer frameworks keep evolving—platforms must stay flexible. Video alone is not enough: scheduling, identity, documentation, and billing belong together.

Providers that design platform and process jointly avoid media breaks between video visits and patient records. Scalable architectures separate video capacity from clinical core systems—important for seasonal peaks and group structures.

Billable telemedicine requires clear documentation in the PMS—so technical integration is part of the product definition from day one, not an afterthought.

Typical challenges

  • Availability, bandwidth, and quality of video infrastructure (WebRTC, TURN/STUN)
  • Separation from non-regulated advice and remote treatment rules
  • Long-term archiving, deletion concepts, and medical documentation duties
  • Integration with PMS/HIS, billing, and patient identity
  • GDPR, confidentiality, and consent management across channels
  • Accessibility and use by older patients without app experience
Telemedicine is not a video-call feature—it is a documented care pathway with consent, archiving, and a clear end.

Possible approach

We combine proven WebRTC strategies with a multi-tenant backend for appointments, roles, and audit. Video sessions use hosted TURN/STUN or providers such as Daily.co, Whereby, or Jitsi—depending on privacy profile and cost model.

Sessions are not recorded unless consent and deletion concepts are agreed upfront. Asynchronous communication uses encrypted API endpoints with retention aligned to medical documentation duties. Scheduling and video capacity scale independently so flu-season peaks do not slow the entire backend.

Typical scenario: a network of outpatient centres starts with video follow-ups and adds chat for result queries. PMS integration via FHIR provides automatic documentation; patients complete consent flows before the first visit. After a three-month pilot, two more specialties are onboarded—without new video infrastructure.

Queue logic for clinic hours can be tied to capacity and shift plans—patients see realistic wait times instead of generic “online” messages.

Compliance & security

Telemedicine is subject to GDPR, confidentiality, and professional rules on remote treatment. Depending on the product, MDR or DiGA requirements may apply. We implement encryption, role-based access, audit logs, and documented retention.

Consents are collected before treatment and stored in a revision-safe way. Patient data remains with the responsible organisation; the platform processes only what scheduling, video, and documentation require. Hosting follows your policy—on-prem, private cloud, or DE/EU data centre with DPA.

Video sessions are not recorded by default; optional recording only with separate consent and automatic deletion after a defined period.

FAQ

Is the platform a medical device or DiGA?
It depends on scope and diagnostic/therapeutic claims. We clarify early with your QM which class and documentation apply.
Which video technology do you recommend?
WebRTC with controlled TURN infrastructure or certified providers—depending on privacy, scale, and budget.
How do you connect our PMS?
Via FHIR, HL7, or vendor APIs—after reviewing your PMS documentation and sandbox access.
Can older patients use the solution?
Yes, with accessible UI, browser fallback without mandatory apps, and phone support during rollout.
How do you handle deletion and archiving?
With documented retention per data type, automated jobs, and export for medical records—GDPR-compliant.
