Telemedicine program design, validation and alliance with Tec de Monterrey for Fratello Project
Industry: Health, Medicine, Services
The opportunity
Fratello Project is a non-profit organization focused on Mexican rural communities empowerment through education, health and productive programs. Among the communities the organization works with, a common factor is the lack of health services and doctors, which translates into great problems when an emergency or a simple medical requirement is needed.

The project
In order to solve this lack of a rapid and practical medical checks, we developed a telemedicine program together with Tec de Monterrey for the Fratello Project communities. The framework had to be low-cost and easy to implement in every community, so we designed 2 models for its deployment: pre-recorded/group sessions and live/individual sessions, both of them conceived mainly for prevention. A special translucent screen is used to project the video (pre-recorded or live) in which the doctor interacts with the patient, having a black background and making the hologram illusion. The main difference between both cases is that in the live session, together with the special translucent screen, the projector, speakers, a computer, and internet, a camera and microphone are also required at both sides of the call.

First, a general community health diagnose was conducted in order to study the problem and solution viability, while the hologram technical development was having place.
