Mission

TelemedVillage is the only telemedicine company in the world that partners with churches, humanitarian organizations, and celebrities to show the Love of God to the sick, poor, and suffering around the world. Imagine Jesus and his Apostles criss-crossing the sea of Galilea in a boat caring for people in the different villages. Likewise, when you sponsor a village doctor with a boat, their team can care for villages up and down the river and all across a lake, and through the Telemed technology the doctors are able to collaborate with the global medical community to provide the highest level of healthcare.

Traditional medical missions are not sustainable because they typically cost $50,000 and only last for 10 days. Our mission is to implement sustainable solutions that provide ongoing healthcare to the poor, sick and suffering. In this way we are able to help churches connect with village doctors who agree to use the Telemed equipment for churches to preach the gospel to their village through video calling. 

Product

The TelemedBoat includes one TelemedToolbox, one ICU bed, a mini lab, and a generous inventory of medical supplies. Sizes and styles will vary depending on the size of the river/lake and the culture of the people. The ICU is designed like an ambulance. The lab includes and internet-connected electron microscope. All of this telemed equipment enables the village doctors to connect to the global medical community. The price includes the boat, all equipment, supplies, data plan, live training, tech support, insurance, boat docking fees, maintenance and much more.

Our TelemedToolbox is a water proof, solar powered portable clinic that is similar in size and shape as a briefcase. It weighs about 25 pounds and contains 18 essential medical tools. It works with video conferencing and a patient platform that enables medical workers in the field and doctors in the U.S. to collaborate in war zones, disaster areas, refugee camps, orphanages, remote villages, and urban slums.  

 Through our TelemedToolbox, doctors in the U.S. can listen to the heartbeat of the patient and give them a physical exam by collaborating with a medical worker in the field.

Benefits

The organization sponsoring TelemedBoat for village doctors will enjoy the following benefits: 

Relationships: The sponsoring organization may select a representative to conduct regular video calls with the village doctor in the field. This will enable the organization to build a relationship with the village doctor and their patients. 

Healthcare: Each month, we will produce videos showing the village doctor using the TelemedBoat and TelemedToolbox to care for their patients. These videos are a very powerful way for the organization to show how they are impacting the world through their sponsorship. 

Church Planting: If the sponsoring organization desires to plant a church, they may conduct regular bible studies, discipleship, baptism ceremonies, and communion services through the video calling capabilities of the TelemedBoat and TelemedToolbox. Through live-streaming of the video call it is possible to conduct a local baptism ceremony and at the same time baptize villagers on the other side of the world. 

When you sponsor a doctor/village with a TelemedBoat, you get to name the boat. Your name of choice and date of establishment will be permanently emblazoned on the side of the boat.

2 Year Service Package

We offer the TelemedBoat and TelemedToolbox with a 2 year service package. This two year service package includes:

1. Consultation and Customization: In our initial consultation, we seek to understand the mission, operations, and needs of our client. With this understanding we custom design a hardware, software, and service package to meet their needs. Certain people groups have special needs due to health issues specific to them (e.g. a large population of HIV patients)

2. Platform Set up: We provide a platform for storing patient health data. We set up accounts for village doctors and secure access codes for the U.S. Doctors. 

3. Training: When our client orders a TelemedBoat, we schedule a live video training session, so that our village doctor learns how to use the Toolbox, platform, and video calls.

4. Video Tutorials: We created and compiled a library of short video tutorials demonstrating how to use everything we provide. These tutorials are very simple and instructive. Village doctors can watch these videos and use them to train their helpers how to use the equipment. 

5. Financial Incentives: We provide each village doctor with a monthly compensation plan of $50 USD for using the TelemedBoat and developing their knowledge and skills. This financial incentive is tied to regular video calls between them and their sponsor so that the sponsoring organization will consistently have an open door to the village.

6. 2 Year Data Plan: The TelemedBoat includes a top of the line Samsung Galaxy tablet with a 10.4 inch screen. The purpose of this tablet is to facilitate high quality video calling between the church and the villagers for bible studies, etc. The data plan is included in the price of the boat/toolbox.

7. Ongoing Tech Support: We provide ongoing technical support to all of our village doctors. We will walk the village doctors through any technical difficulties with the hardware or software.

8. Guarantee: If any of the devices stop working, we will replace it at our own cost. This guarantee is for the duration of the 24 month service package.

9. Carbon Credits: The price of our service package automatically includes carbon credits to offset the carbon footprint of the hardware. (www.tarrapass.com)

After the 2 year service package has ended, the telemed boat becomes property of the village doctor and their medical team. It will be a self sustaining part of their healthcare system.
