The cart
What is on the telemedicine cart
The cart arrives pre-connected, configured, and tested, and runs from a standard outlet on your existing network, with no dedicated circuit or static IP. The workstation is not locked down to our software: your EHR, imaging, and other clinical applications can run on it too.
27-inch 1080p HD display
A large display with a wireless keyboard and touchpad, so the patient sees the provider clearly and staff run the visit at the cart.
PTZ 1080p HD camera
Pan, tilt, and zoom with far-end camera control, so the remote provider frames the patient and the room without asking staff to move the cart.
Conference-grade audio
Speaker and microphone with echo cancellation, sized for an exam or consult room, so both sides hear each other without a headset.
Medical-grade battery backup
An uninterruptible power supply keeps the workstation and devices running while the cart is unplugged and rolled to the next room.
Pneumatic height adjustment
Set the display and camera to the right height for a bedside, chairside, or standing exam on a robust, lightweight rolling cart.
Nine integrated medical devices
Digital stethoscope, video otoscope, handheld exam camera, 12-lead ECG, blood pressure monitor, pulse oximeter, spirometer, glucometer, and thermometer, configured per facility. Also available without medical devices for video-only programs.

Virtual examination and auscultation, not just video calls
How a telemedicine cart visit works
With a basic video platform, the remote provider has only the patient's own description to go on. With the cart at the bedside, a nurse or medical assistant operates the devices while the provider examines the patient's skin, eyes, ears, and throat, listens to heart and lung sounds, and gets vitals and a 12-lead ECG in real time.
01
Roll the cart to the patient
The cart runs on battery backup while it moves, then plugs into a standard outlet. It joins your network like any other workstation.
02
Start the visit
A nurse or medical assistant signs in on the cart and starts the video visit. The provider joins from a browser or the mobile app and takes control of the PTZ camera.
03
Examine
Staff switch to the stethoscope, otoscope, or exam camera and the provider sees and hears live. Blood pressure, oxygen saturation, spirometry, and the 12-lead ECG sync into the record over Bluetooth, without manual entry.
04
Document
Images, sounds, and readings stay with the patient record. AI documentation that drafts the note is available on the platform, and your EHR can run on the same workstation.

Questions
Telemedicine cart FAQ
The questions hospitals, nursing facilities, clinics, and grant applicants ask before they request a quote for a cart.
What is a telemedicine cart?
A telemedicine cart is a mobile workstation that brings a remote provider to the patient: a large display and camera, room audio, a computer, and integrated medical devices such as a digital stethoscope, otoscope, exam camera, 12-lead ECG, and vitals monitors, all driven by telehealth software. The CureCompanion cart is a rolling workstation built for hospital use, with a 27-inch display, PTZ camera, battery backup, and nine integrated devices.
What is on the CureCompanion telemedicine cart?
A 27-inch 1080p display with wireless keyboard and touchpad, a pan-tilt-zoom 1080p HD camera with far-end control, conference-grade speaker and microphone, medical-grade battery backup, pneumatic height adjustment, and nine integrated medical devices: digital stethoscope, video otoscope, handheld exam camera, 12-lead ECG, blood pressure monitor, pulse oximeter, spirometer, glucometer, and non-contact thermometer. Carts are built to order; devices can be removed or added, and a video-only configuration is available.
Telemedicine cart or telemedicine kit: which do we need?
A cart is the choice for inpatient units, emergency departments, nursing facilities, and exam rooms where the visit comes to a fixed station: large display, PTZ camera, battery backup, and height adjustment at the bedside. A kit packs a tablet, webcam, and the same devices into a 20 lb case for satellite sites, schools, and home visits. Both run the same software, and many programs use both.
Can we run our EHR or other software on the cart?
Yes. The cart's workstation is not locked down to our software, so your EHR, imaging viewer, and other clinical applications can run on it alongside the CureCompanion platform.
What power and network does the cart need?
A standard 120 V grounded outlet drawing under about 3 amps, so no dedicated circuit, and your existing wired or Wi-Fi network at about 1 Mbps per visit, with 4 to 5 Mbps recommended. No static IP is required. Battery backup keeps the cart running while it moves between rooms.
Who operates the cart during a visit, and how much training do they need?
A nurse or medical assistant at the bedside runs the devices while the remote provider directs the exam and controls the camera. Workflows are modeled on in-person visits; training is remote and usually takes 60 to 90 minutes per team, with refreshers available.
Can the remote provider control the camera?
Yes. The PTZ camera has far-end control, so the provider pans, tilts, and zooms from their own screen to frame the patient, a wound, or the room, without asking staff to move the cart.
Is the telemedicine cart HIPAA compliant?
Video, images, sounds, and readings travel through the CureCompanion platform, which is HIPAA compliant: encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), access controls, audit logging, automated daily backups, and a Business Associate Agreement.
How much does a telemedicine cart cost?
It depends on the configuration: the devices on the cart, a video-only or full-exam build, and the number of carts and sites. Hardware is purchased outright with no recurring hardware charges, and the software is licensed per organization rather than per cart or per user. Request a quote and we will itemize a configuration for your program and budget.
Can RHTP, USDA DLT, or state grant funds pay for telemedicine carts?
Telemedicine carts are a common equipment line in these programs. RHTP's infrastructure and technology priority names telehealth and other digital tools, USDA DLT grants have funded telemedicine carts and kits for years, and state telemedicine grants follow the same pattern. Eligibility and allowable costs are decided by the program and your state; we supply the quotes and specifications your application needs. Our RHTP telehealth, RPM, and AI guide →
