Integrator Donates Telemedicine System to Haitian Hospital
John Vitello of Alpine Home Media donates video conferencing solution to connect doctors battling a cholera outbreak in Haiti with U.S. physicians.
Justinian Hospital in Cap Haitian where doctors are facing a cholera crisis is being connected to U.S. doctors via video conferencing thanks to the donated efforts of New York integrator John Vitello.
John Vitiello of Tappan, N.Y.-based Alpine Home Media is using his audio/video integration skills to make a difference in Haiti.
Vitello is in the process of installing a telemedicine system at Justinian Hospital in Cap Haitien, connecting a hospital in Haiti’s second largest city to doctors in Portland, Maine via video conferencing.
With an outbreak of cholera adding to an already critical situation in Haitian hospitals, a telepresence relationship with U.S. doctors should prove invaluable.
At press time, the plan is for the entire project to be financed by Vitello and his charity with the Internet connection paid for by Konbit Sante. “We’re donating the installation services and we may be donating the equipment if we can’t find manufacturers to donate it,” he says.
Vitello says there are several integration challenges including the hospital’s generally unreliable Internet connection, the likelihood that a handheld remote would go missing, the coordination of schedules between Haitian medical staffs and U.S. doctors and more.
