Abstract: Introduction Telemedicine has become a staple in enhancing healthcare education and patient outcomes. Curecast stands out as a groundbreaking videoconferencing platform designed for neurointerventions in the angio cath lab. It transcends traditional teaching and collaboration methods by providing real-time, live case streaming, teaching sessions, webinars, and on-call proctoring. Aim of Study This study evaluates the impact of Curecast on the efficiency of neurointerventions, particularly through its advanced video streaming capabilities and its role in improving the educational experience for medical professionals. Methods Curecast leverages a state-of-the-art, 5-channel, high-resolution video capture system, consisting of two A planes, two B planes, and one high-resolution camera. This unique setup allows for the streaming of anonymized live data directly to proctors or through webinars, thereby facilitating in-depth learning and rapid decision-making. Furthermore, the platform stores synchronized ultra-HD videos of each channel, enabling detailed video editing for educational purposes. Its compatibility with any generic streaming platform and its low-cost implementation make it a versatile and accessible solution for institutions worldwide. Results Implementing Curecast in 41 neurointerventional procedures has substantially accelerated expert assistance and increased interventionalists’ confidence, particularly benefiting fellows on call. Feedback from teaching during live cases has highlighted the platform’s exceptional capability in enhancing learning outcomes and procedural efficiency. Conclusion Technical implementation of this video conferencing and video capturing platform for neurointerventions introduces a capable tool for telemedicine, characterized by heightened educational value, improved procedural outcomes, and cost-effective deployment. Its broad accessibility and advanced video capabilities establish Curecast platform as a significant advancement in medical education and patient care. Disclosure of Interest no.
