Help Lightning for Remote patient care

Reviewed on 2020/04/20

I use the system to communicate, educate and guide at-home or other remote procedures during patient care encounters. In many cases, the receiver of help does not need to download the app. The virtual presence capability enables me to guide patients in a manner that would otherwise be very difficult remotely. This instills a significant degree of confidence and value into the encounter.

Pros

Simple to use. Ability to start a video encounter using SMS texting. Enables bidirectional video, but also enables me to 'reach into' the task field to guide various procedures. This is unique and not available in any other 'telemedical' solution that I know of.

Cons

Sensitive to network bandwidth due to bidirectional and interactive video. But it is definitely worth the use of bandwidth.

HL its a great product and it is unique in the market, it can have thousands of use case all over the world. Hope you'll continue bringing great functionalities to your platform to convert HL in a world leader of videocalls.

Pros

It automatically connects you to a remote expert by simple clicking on a link, there's no need for training cause it has a consumer UX (intuitive and ease to use) as well as literally no implementation costs if you want to use the stand alone application. I also like the fact that the commercial model is so simple that you have a monthly flat rate per user.

Cons

I would suggest to have the possibility to launch a call directly from a remote expert to the phone number of the person who needs help, increasing the overall productivity of both by avoiding sending an SMS and waiting that the remote person clicks on the HL link.

Reasons for Switching to Help Lightning

Because of the unique functionality of Merged Reality! No one else at this time can do that!

working with techs and customers to explain and troubleshoot CNC control related issues. This quickly gets me over the hurdle of explaining step by step instructions and gives me real-time feedback. i can quickly solve customer issues over HL that would have required e-mail and screenshots over a period of hours.

Pros

Very easy to set up, connect and share with customers

Cons

We don't always have the best signal strength, so connections don't work 100% of the time.
this is a barrier to company adoption, and

Help Lightning is truly a customer centric organization. From the initial meeting to implementation their customer success team is along side you sharing best practices. Their team was dedicated to helping us deliver a great go-live and differentiated customer experience. The integration with smart glasses was effortless and provided another level of functionality and savings for our teams.

Pros

HL is simple and easy to use which is critical when using with customers unfamiliar with the technology. It enables a session without end user app download which expedites time to deliver a solution. The merged reality enables side by side coaching while being remote which helped drive additional savings from dispatch avoidance.

Cons

Enabling translations to further extend product globally would be helpful although the user interface is self-explanatory.
