- Differences between telemedicine and traditional communication tools (Viber, Skype, etc.)
Telemedicine solutions have grown enormously in recent months, but doctors are often confused about the ability to use specialized solutions and continue to use their well-known patient communication tools - Viber, Skype and others. In this presentation, we will address the main differences between these tools and show why we believe that the place for an online health consultation is in specialized solutions and platforms.-

- Check Point Cardio: Live monitoring of COVID patients - with maximum efficiency and zero risk
Check Point Cardio's digital remote monitoring allows the remote monitoring of patients with Covid-19 symptoms or those under quarantine, allowing the doctor to monitor closely their patients without physical contact with them, thanks to remote care with medical precision. It is important to protect the health of the first-line medical providers by limiting their contacts with patients, while at the same having those under medical supervision by their doctors.
At some point in the epidemic crisis, it is possible to face a situation where intensive beds will be 100% occupied. Then we have to be able to "transfer" the hospital in other places - gyms, holes, people's homes, etc. All this can be done with the Check Point Cardio product and service for remote monitoring, which enables 24/7 online medical observation of over 10 vital real time indicators, being also a certified equipment for intensive hospital care.-

- Imagga: Monitoring of health status in respiratory infectious diseases based on analysis of images from a thermal camera at home
During a pandemic the health care system of every country is facing a huge challenge and it is practically impossible for each patient to have direct access to the care and monitoring they may need. Oftentimes people with light symptoms are approaching hospitals with the urgent need to do so, but also people in pretty severe condition are delaying their hospitalization. Kelvin is a solution for home monitoring of health status that can spot early symptoms of worsening respiratory infection and warn about it days before the worsening to have progressed immensely. For that purpose the patient need to regularly take photos with a mobile thermal camera which are then analysed with machine learning models.-

- PlayReha: Remote rehabilitation
When it comes to physical recovery and maintenance therapy, it is not enough for a patient to have 5 visits to a rehabilitation center. He needs months of supervised therapy to recover completely and to be successfully involved in his daily routine.
A Bulgarian digital platform offers a working solution for remote rehabilitation through individual and standardized programs for home rehabilitation therapy.
Behind the digital platform is a team of specialists - orthopedists and physiotherapists who have developed a convenient and easy solution for the sake of patients and fully pointed to their needs for solving a specific physiological problem. The platform offers an online consultation with a physician who closely monitors the implementation and the outcome of the therapy.
At the moment when it is necessary to physically distance patients in the state, it is crucial for the vulnerable groups to be kept as isolated as possible and at the same time to have access to medical care. Through remote rehabilitation, patients will be facilitated in accessing and executing a long-term recovery program monitored by a specialist doctor at all times.-

- Find Me Cure: How clinical trials have changed during the pandemic and what is expected after?
COVID-19 has proven to be a challenge for all industries, but perhaps the first to experience difficulties was clinical trials. State-level restrictions and fear of spreading the virus prompted some tests to be delayed, while others had to be adapted to new FDA and EMA advice. In addition, new trials targeting vaccines and treatments for COVID-19 were initiated immediately, following new processes and rules. Within a few minutes we will comment on what these changes are and whether they will be permanent or temporary and what to expect in order to adapt to the new conditions.-
