Speedify × Telehealth
Telehealth sessions that don't drop mid-consultation.
The Problem
A single dropped internet connection can break a consultation, an EHR sync, or a monitoring stream.
A telehealth provider running on a single home broadband line or single-carrier cellular connection faces predictable failure scenarios during every shift: ISP maintenance windows, brief outages, cellular congestion, and router reboots. Most of these events last under two minutes. For a telehealth consultation, two minutes of disconnection often breaks the session completely and forces a full reconnect workflow, leaving the patient confused and the record incomplete.
Rural health clinics and mobile health units in areas with limited infrastructure face longer and less predictable outages. A clinic on a single Starlink dish experiences periodic satellite handoff gaps. A mobile health van crossing a coverage boundary on a single cellular carrier drops connectivity during the transition.
EHR synchronisation, remote monitoring data streams, and medical device telemetry all require continuous connectivity to maintain data integrity. A dropped connection during an EHR sync creates reconciliation issues. A gap in a remote monitoring stream may trigger a false alert or miss a real one.
The Solution
One bonded internet connection. Telehealth sessions stay active regardless of what any single link does.
- For rural clinics, Speedify bonds Starlink with cellular from multiple carriers, maintaining connectivity through satellite handoffs and cellular coverage gaps.
- Active telehealth video sessions, EHR connections, and remote monitoring streams continue without interruption when any single connection fails.
- Speedify Self-Hosted Servers allow healthcare organisations with HIPAA requirements to route all Speedify traffic through their own infrastructure, keeping patient data off shared cloud servers.
- All traffic through Speedify is encrypted with AES-256-GCM end-to-end, including during failover events.
Scenarios
Built for every kind of telehealth operation.
01 / Fixed telehealth clinic and provider offices
Consultation sessions that hold through ISP outages.
02 / Rural and critical access health facilities
Rural clinics with one ISP option get two active paths.
03 / Mobile health units and home visit providers
Internet connectivity that holds as the vehicle moves between coverage zones.
04 / Remote patient monitoring and wearable data transmission
Continuous monitoring data streams that don't have gaps.
Remote patient monitoring platforms require continuous upstream connectivity to maintain complete data records. A gap in a monitoring stream triggers reconciliation workflows and can create compliance documentation gaps that require manual review. Speedify bonds the clinic or patient-side connection across multiple paths simultaneously, ensuring the RPM data stream continues without gaps even when one path briefly degrades.
Stack
Speedify works under the telehealth platforms and EHR systems your practice already uses.
Speedify Self-Hosted Servers are available for healthcare businesses with HIPAA data routing requirements, running on business-controlled infrastructure on-premises or on HIPAA-eligible cloud infrastructure.
HIPAA option - Self-Hosted Server: route all Speedify traffic through organisation-controlled infrastructure.
The Solution
Two ways to run Speedify in telehealth environments.
Network level — clinic or vehicle router
Install Speedify on a compatible OpenWrt network bonding router. Every device on the clinic or vehicle network benefits from bonded connectivity automatically: telehealth workstations, EHR terminals, monitoring devices, and administrative systems.
- Supported OpenWrt routers: With a Speedify for Routers license.
- Powered by Speedify routers: Speedify is preinstalled and ready to configure.
HIPAA-sensitive deployments — Self-Hosted Server
Healthcare businesses with HIPAA requirements deploy Speedify Self-Hosted Servers on their own infrastructure. All Speedify traffic routes through business-controlled servers, keeping patient data off shared cloud infrastructure.
Self-hosted servers deploy on-premises, in healthcare-compliant data centres, or on HIPAA-eligible cloud infrastructure.
Visibility
Every link, on screen, before it ruins your consultation.
Speedify integrates directly with Starlink's dish telemetry to surface real-time link health on the Speedify dashboard. Obstruction events, signal degradation, thermal throttling, and hardware faults appear within 15 seconds of detection.
Each dish reports independently, so a local engineer or the network operations center can pinpoint exactly which link is degrading.
