The virtual ICU is a telehealth service that enables healthcare professionals to help patients remotely through audio connections or video conferencing. The virtual ICU has proven to be an effective way to reduce hospital costs and provide more care in areas where access to medical resources is limited. Moreover, it is reliable, easy to use, and offers security features with real-time access to patient information. It can be integrated with a hospital's electronic medical record to enable data exchange. Compared with traditional ICUs, virtual ICUs offer many benefits to hospitals, including reduced length of stay, improved patient outcomes and quality of care, reduced costs, and improved staff efficiency.
