Engineering automated geolocation verification systems to ensure physicians only treat patients in states where they maintain active medical licenses.
In the United States, medical practice occurs at the physical location of the patient. Providing care to a patient located in a state where the doctor does not hold an active medical license constitutes illegal unlicensed practice.
TelemedicineSys combines HTML5 browser GPS coordinates, IP address subnet mapping, and cellular cell-tower triangulation to verify patient state residency before the virtual consultation room opens.
The platform automatically cross-references provider NPI numbers with state licensing databases and the IMLC registry, preventing clinicians from being scheduled with patients in unauthorized jurisdictions.
