Medical professional and philanthropist Dr. Peter (“Pete”) Killcommons serves as the chief executive officer of Medweb, a company that focuses on teleradiology and telemedicine solutions. With decades of health care experience, Dr. Peter Killcommons also takes part in numerous charitable efforts, such as a recent trip to Cape Verde, Africa, to boost awareness of telemedicine. 

Telemedicine allows patients to consult with health care professionals through the use of technology, particularly video conferencing. In a recent study, telemedicine was shown to be effective in allowing individuals the opportunity to receive care without the inconvenience of leaving home. In some cases, patients are physically unable to leave home or may live in rural areas a great distance away from the nearest medical facility. Patients in the study also found that teleconferencing from the comfort of their homes tended to mitigate troubling news. Moreover, telemedicine has been shown to cut costs, both for patients and the health care industry itself.

The congress, titled “ARMTELEMED: Road to the Future,” presented a theme of forward thinking in Armenian telemedicine. It took place October 14-16 and was attended by 287 participants, including 53 international participants and 76 students of the congress’ host venue, the Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University. 

Peter Killcommons’ keynote speech focused primarily on the implementation of telemedicine technology in eastern Afghanistan, specifically two participating hospitals in Jalalabad. Medweb created and donated the system to the Armenian telemedicine association, in an attempt to help rural areas of Armenia become more medically advanced. The hosts of the congress presented Killcommons with a personalized bottle of Armenian cognac and an invitation to the following year’s congress.
