Geonovo’s high performance digital telecare platform (UK)
nicholas robinson the annoying thing is theat they have trademarked "Home Health Hub" -a commonly used descriptive term for a home health hub! Do we now have to say/add TM every tiem we use the term?? Steve Hards, Editor The TM has no legal significance - in the UK, at least. It only indicates that the words are being used as a trademark. So anyone can call their kit 'Home Health Hub' and put TM after it, any time until it is registered. But the phrase would be possibly be considered too generic to register as a trademark. See this...

Do you understand that it is moving more in the realms of myth and mystery than in real life?

Telehealth on the e-commerce model
Should virtual patient-doctor visits (termed here telehealth rather than telemedicine) have taken a page from the US e-commerce model to stimulate adoption? That is, to make them popular, provide an economic advantage over in-person visits? (In the US, online sellers such as Amazon initially grew because purchases largely circumvented state sales taxes, costing less.) Dr. David E. Williams proposes that payers now emulate this economic advantage by charging consumers nothing or very reduced co-pays for online visits, and/or incentivize physicians to move in-person visits to online. Aside from the cross-state licensure and medical records access problems, most payers (other than... Continue Reading
