What is Teleoptometry?

Why Zoom?

We chose to integrate with Zoom for 3 main reasons:

1. Security: Zoom is HIPAA/PIPEDA compliant
2. Consistent high-quality video, even in low-bandwidth environments
3. Ease of use

How it works

•  When booking an appointment flagged as "Telehealth" in WINK, a link for a Zoom video-conference will automatically be sent to the patient in his confirmation and reminder

•  When the patient joins the video-conference, you will get a visual indicator in their appointment cell in your WINK calendar

•  Open the link to the video-conference from the appointment cell to connect with your patient and start your consultation.

Easy peasy!
