Our Story

eCare has worked closely with our business partners, including educators, safety experts, and healthcare directors to infuse video-based technology to connect rural schools to education, healthcare, and security resources all around the world. Now you can literally use this technology, supported by available federal funding, to expand your district and provide equitable education, security, and healthcare throughout rural America. This technology provides access to those in rural areas, as well as keep our kids safe in school and allow the parents to continue their work.

eCare is teaming up with national technology providers to use video conferencing in rural areas to extend the treatment of opioid treatment beyond where medical personnel can physically travel by using video conferencing. This technology will be able to connect physicians, counselors, and other health care workers to clinics in rural areas to provide treatment to patients who cannot travel to the city. With this expanded access through technology, patients needing critical care will be able to receive the same treatment in their hometown as they would in the larger cities.

We know finding the right company to help you solve your communication issues can be difficult, especially if you are unsure of what you need. We offer free consultations and demonstrations to help you design a program tailored for your specific needs.
