Most remote oil exploration sites are home to dozens of workers for upwards of several months at a time. Aside from industrial staff nurses, there is usually scant access to more sophisticated medical professionals and services. When workers become ill or injured the situation must be assessed locally, or via the phone. Removing a worker from a remote site is expensive and the time involved to do so could mean the difference between life and death. Polycom HD telemedicine solutions offer vivid, life-like images and instant access to medical experts so patients can be diagnosed quickly and properly.
