A Little Bit of History about ProConnections and SimVisits

• ProConnections is a commercial products division of Surveillance Technology, Inc.

• Developed a video product that integrates with an Intensive Care Unit monitoring solution

• Decided to bring that technology to residents of long term care facilities and their families to enrich their lives through interactive video conferencing

“Studies show that this type of care model can reduce ICU mortality by 25% and save costs. The keys are constant surveillance, providing the patient with immediate physician access and arming the physician with the patient information needed to make the right decisions, quickly.”
