AMD Global Telemedicine

Chelmsford, MA

“AMD is keenly aware that our solutions directly impact the quality of the lives of our customers.”

AMD Global Telemedicine may be a small company of just under 30 employees in Chelmsford, but it has a significant impact in the delivery of healthcare in more than 90 countries around the world. Founded in 1991 by current president Steve Normandin, AMD pioneered the development of telemedicine as a way of bringing quality medical care to rural and underdeveloped areas around the world.

AMD faced tremendous risk when the decision was made to operate outside of its traditional business area. In doing so, AMD has been instrumental in providing world class health care to people in Kenya, Central America and South America, many of whom had never seen a doctor. Delivering its products through well established world-wide channels, the company boasts a notable list of healthcare organizations around the world as clients, including the Mayo Clinic, United Healthcare, and Boston Children’s Hospital.

AMD generously supports the communities it serves, donating medical equipment and engineering resources to the Shriner’s Burn Centers, the World Health Organization, and the National Institute of Health. On the local level, AMD is committed to supporting a variety of community based charities, such as Lowell General Hospital’s Team Walk for Cancer Care and the IRIS Network for the Blind.
