iVisit Raises Video Conferencing Potential

Right now, I am in a situation where my family and I are moving to another city, and so my son is temporary living with me while my wife and I have the other two kids at our destination. Just minutes ago, my son was missing his mommy, and so I called her up on her cell and put it on speaker.

All I could think about was: if only there was a way that people could visit together in some technological way. Okay, that wasn’t one of my better lead-ins, but I think that the company iVisit is really on to something.

This iVisit isn’t just one of those many electronic applications with a small i in front of it. It is a video chat application for friends, family, and colleagues directly from your mobile phone.

The possibilities are, of course, limitless. For example, if you want to meet up with a group of friends but can’t get all in one place, simply use iVisit to transmit and receive live multiway video to each person’s mobile. This application also features Instant Messaging, sending and receiving photos, and the user can even allow other users to see where he or she is with GPS Location Based Services. It works for both mobile and desktop users. In fact, iVisit Desktop allows a user to talk face-to-face from the desktop with up to 8 users.

For some real multiparty video conferencing, users have the option of iVisit Presenter 3.6. This is the perfect business tool for those who have employees scattered about the world. Users have access to whoever is online and can invite them to come aboard. It also allows for scheduling meetings, training sessions, presentations, PowerPoint Presentations, Word Documents, Excel Spreadsheets, as well as other files and applications.

Business people can also use the iVisit Client Server to enable organizations of any size to operate their own private and secure communication services. It operates securely over the user’s private LAN, WAN, or VPN, and allows users access to their own private domain.

Another application is iVisit Rx, a way for doctors to do their work from a distance. Not only can a doctor visit a patient without making a house call, but he or she can use the remote patient monitoring system for blood glucose, weight scale, blood pressure, heart rate, pulse oximetry, and respiration rate. It was selected as a finalist in the Fourth CTIA Emerging Technologies (E-Tech) Awards in the Enterprise and Vertical-Healthcare category.

Medical Assistance is another application for the iVisit SeeStar/SeeScan. It allows a pair of eyes through the use of a cellular phone and data link to a remote assistant. So if you know someone who needs that extra pair, then this would be what you use. SeeScan allows the user access to object recognition technology so things like money or prescriptions don’t get mixed up.

It would appear that iVisit is making quite a splash as it already has more than 700,000 registered users and 4 million downloads in the past six years. I’m sure that iVisit will grow with more visits as they have more than 3 billion minutes of multiparty video conferencing and counting.
