NYNEX Sponsors Telemedicine Conference

NYNEX is one of the sponsors of a telemedicine conference held this week at the State University of New York Health Science Center at Syracuse.

The conference focuses on new developments in telemedicine, including the unveiling of "The Bridge," an innovative communications system connecting doctors, nurses, and other health care providers through the latest in telecommunications tools. These tools include Internet applications, Web-based teleconferencing equipment, still-image transmitters and data base links.

By using the Bridge, for example, a physician treating a patient with an unusual problem will be able to quickly retrieve the latest published information from a medical database, access a list of medical experts in the field and connect to the appropriate expert.

The Bridge can be used in a variety of settings, including nurses' offices in primary and secondary schools, or as an educational tool for students studying medicine, nursing or health related professions.

NYNEX is a leader in the development of telemedicine applications.
