GE Healthcare/The Patient Channel testimonial

The Internet is a critical channel for large corporations and government agencies to communicate new products, services and marketing messages. The communication is even more engaging to its audience when video, audio and interactivity is included in the presentation. But it must also be incredibly easy and simple to create and deliver. Akamai Stream OS solutions make it so. Whether you need to broadcast a shareholder meeting on the Internet, use online video to train your employees, educate vendors or get your product message out quickly to customers, Akamai has a full and flexible solution set for you.

GE Healthcare needed to extend the reach of their popular patient TV channel, installed in over 1300 U.S. Hospitals. Broadcasting 24/7 on the web closes the loop between doctor's offices, the hospital and patient homes, providing access to health management content at the point of need on topics like cancer recovery, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, and more. Stream OS downlinks The Patient Channel satellite signal and ensures that it streams continuously on the web 24/7/365.

"We chose Stream OS to broadcast the Patient Channel satellite signal on the web because of their top-quality streams, and quick implementation."
