Founded in 2006, and headquartered in Mission Viejo, California, our goal is to remove the barriers to entry for healthcare organizations frustrated with the cost, time, and lack of internal resources required to deploy a successful, sustainable, telemedicine program. Further, once initially deployed, Med-RT simplifies maintenance and reduces on-going operational cost while opening the door to leveraging existing investment for program expansion.
We have developed a number of unique solutions including a Mobile Telemedicine Cart specifically designed to address the needs of the Emergency Department as well as an Appliance for Remote Management and Monitoring of endpoint systems.
