Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) has created applications that would allow patients, doctors and medical staff of Asian Hospital and Medical Center to easily access useful information through Telpad.
“Telpad will make it easier and more convenient for a patient to access information about doctors, their HMO accreditation, specialization, and schedule. The patient will just have to tap the Telpad Asian Hospital App, and choose from the search options for the relevant information to appear,” Patrick S. Tang, PLDT's vice president and head of Home Marketing for Voice and Microbusiness, said in a statement.
Telpad is the world’s first landline and fully interactive tablet, allowing users to make and receive unlimited local calls, and access unlimited internet and exclusive PLDT services.
According to Tang, one of Telpad's features is web browsing, which enables users to access their favorite websites, play streaming videos, update their social network status, and compose and check for messages in their email accounts.
He added that new applications are being developed by PLDT for Asian Hospital. These include the Doctor’s Portal, which will provide immediate access to a doctor’s schedule, his patients’ profiles, details of medical records, historical laboratory results, collaboration with other doctors, and bills.
These applications will allow doctors and patients to track and monitor medical records in digital format which they can access anytime.
Other apps that PLDT is currently developing for Asian Hospital are the Patient’s Portal, Enhanced Schedule of Doctors, and On-line Nursery.
Telpad plans start at P1,849 at 1.5 mbps Internet speed, supported by PLDT myDSL. Each plan is bundled with unlimited local calls and unlimited online access. Android-powered Telpad offers subscribers more than 450,000 applications that are available for download on Google Play (formerly known as Android Market).
