This collaboration aims to develop a Telemedicine solution for the “MedCare Telehealth Powered by Zoom” service.
Utilizing Zoom’s Video Conference Platform, the initiative seeks to elevate Thailand’s public health sector by facilitating remote medical and pharmacy services. Physicians and pharmacists from hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies can now conveniently communicate with patients. Many hospitals have already implemented this solution to make healthcare more accessible, overcoming limitations of time and location, reducing hidden costs such as missed work and travel expenses.
This initiative not only enhances convenience and privacy but also addresses gaps in accessing public healthcare services in Thailand with future plans to extend services to other Southeast Asia countries.

The system is highly flexible and customizable for large hospitals, networked hospitals, clinics, and even small pharmacies. It seamlessly integrates with various systems using Zoom Platform technology, a globally recognized leader in Video Conference technology.
With a large number of Thai individuals and leading organizations already familiar and trusting the Zoom Platform, we can further develop Telehealth systems that meet global standards of security and functionality. This enables patients to access healthcare services effortlessly on smartphones and tablets of almost every model, eliminating the need for downloading additional applications. The target is set to have 50,000 users utilizing the service by the end of the year.” Teera further added.
MedCare Telehealth Powered by Zoom, through the Zoom Technology Platform, comprehensively covers disease management, consultations, and beneficial information exchange for swift access to medical examinations and diagnoses by hospital physicians.

These technologies are poised to boost the expansion of Telemedicine in Thailand, enhancing both its capabilities and service scope continuously,” concluded Teera
