At the 2017 HIMSS2017 ( Medical Institute for Healthcare Information Systems) global conference in Orlando, Florida, on February 20th, Samsung and American Wells, a telemedicine company based in Boston, announced an in-depth cooperation message that it will be united in the future. Promote medical health services to a new level – accessibility and collaboration can make a leap.
Although the two companies did not mention more details, we can't see how the user experience is presented for the time being. However, the “great opportunity†that frequently appears from both sides of the cooperation will inevitably bring a lot of delusions to this cooperation.
As the first company in the United States to be certified by the Telemedicine Association, American Well serves more than 200 telemedicine health systems worldwide, enabling patients to enjoy high-quality medical services through telemedicine technology. The cooperation with Samsung, the world's largest consumer electronics giant, also confirmed the "big brother" optimism about the development prospects of telemedicine services.
“Mobile technology offers consumers more opportunities to easily access health care services,†said Harry Kim, head of Samsung’s mobile health business. “This collaboration with American Well brings innovative opportunities and new experiences to Samsung. Our health business has seen more profit margins."
Ido Schoenberg, the chairman of American Well, is also optimistic: The cooperation with Samsung will enable us to embark on a new level of help in terms of health services reaching consumers, improving patient accessibility and operating experience.
[Sample requirements]
The collected nasopharyngeal swab samples should be transported at 2°C to 8°C and sent for inspection immediately, and the sample delivery and storage time should not exceed 48 hours.
[Testing method]
1. Before sampling, mark the relevant sample information on the label of the sampling tube.
2. According to different sampling requirements, use a sampling swab to sample in the nasopharynx.
3. The specific sampling methods are as follows:
a) Nasal swab: Gently insert the swab head into the nasal palate, stay for a while and then slowly turn to exit. Wipe the other nostril with another swab, immerse the swab head in the sampling solution, and discard the tail.
b) Pharyngeal swab: Wipe bilateral pharyngeal tonsils and posterior pharyngeal wall with a swab, also immerse the swab head in the sampling solution, and discard the tail.
4. Quickly put the swab into the sampling tube.
5. Break the part of the sampling swab higher than the sampling tube, and tighten the tube cover.
6. Freshly collected clinical specimens should be transported to the laboratory within 48 hours at 2°C to 8°C.
[Explanation of test results]
After the sample is collected, the sampling solution turns slightly yellow, which will not affect the nucleic acid test result.
[Limitations of the test method]
1. For samples that are seriously contaminated due to improper storage after collection, the final test results will be affected.
2. If the sample is not stored at the specified temperature, the final test result will be affected.
