How VGo Works
The VGo app
The software application runs on the user’s computer and is used to initiate connectivity, see and hear what is happening at the other location and to drive the VGo. The VGo app is available in the Apple app store and on Google Play.
VGoNet
VGo runs over the internet with the help of VGoNet, a unique cloud computing network designed to handle the complexities of a solution that requires real time AV communications and simultaneous robotic remote controls.
Audio and Video
Mute audio or audio and video, control the volume of your voice coming out of VGo or have the VGo speak for you with text to speak capabilities. Take hi-resolution photos & zoom video up to 5x.
Driving VGo
Users simply use their mouse pointer and VGo moves in that direction. Drag it more and the VGo moves faster. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard. Tilt the camera using the scroll wheel on the mouse or use your keyboard

Healthcare
Remote Patient Visits, Monitoring and Staff Augmentation
VGo addresses the challenges of resource availability and safety. Specialty and remote care providers can consult with patients immediately without the need to travel or the risk of infection. Healthcare professionals can easily communicate with and monitor patients from a distance by driving the VGo to patient bedsides. Contactless remote patient monitoring with VGo helps reduce staff exposure to infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and reduces the quantity of PPE required for frequent patient visits. Patients can connect with friends, clinicians, or others without risk of infection or the need for PPE. Staff can also easily monitor multiple locations in their facility – from patient intake, to the lab, to a specific clinic–at the click of a button.
Education
Physical Presence for Homebound Students
VGo is successfully deployed in hundreds of schools for students who cannot physically go to school due to an illness, accident, or medical condition. VGo gets students back to a traditional schooling environment by providing a physical device that replicates the student while away from hospital. Students are empowered to operate their user friendly VGo in real-time. VGo enables students to receive the same instruction as their peers and move around and between classrooms independently. Students actively participate in a full school day with their classmates – both in the classroom and through socializing in the hallways and at lunch.

Business
Collaborate from Anywhere
VGo helps companies of all sizes overcome distance, manage remote teams, and cost effectively maintain presence at multiple locations at once while increasing organizational productivity. VGo’s robotic telepresence solution is leveraged by remote engineers and remote project team members to stay connected with distant team members, to engage in processes and to keep visually involved in engineering, product development, manufacturing, and integration projects.

“There was an old Cris, the boy that existed before the seizures hit… they changed his health and his personality. He’s still a happy-go-lucky kid, but because he had no peer interaction, he became subdued. When VGo came into his life, some of that spark came back. Some of his personality is back. It’s an enthusiasm I haven’t seen in a long time.”
““For a patient with enhanced respiratory isolation, VGo went in by herself and conducted a full interview and exam. PPE was saved and exposure reduced to zero.”
“The VGo offers our team members the ability to join a meeting or conference in real time from a remote location, greatly enhancing our global collaboration experience. It has certainly made it easier for me to feel like I’m more engaged with the group at large while telecommuting, especially during those times when my physical trips are infrequent.”
