MEDICO AMICO

Status date: 13 April 2022

MEDICOAMICO is a new App allowing medical staff, wherever they are, to monitor their patients at home, to make teleconsultations and to deliver telerehabilitation sessions.

The patient simply needs to download MEDICAL AMICO on his/her smartphone, tablet or PC.
