Hospital uses cutting edge telemedicine
What a potential!!
"About 1,500 doctors attending a medical congress in India were invited to a unique event. Wearing special 3-D glasses, they watched a live 3-D transmission of a surgery performed in a Henry Ford hospital in Detroit.
Dr. Mani Menon used a new, high-tech operating room to beam the two-hour surgery to 1,500 doctors at the World Congress on Endourology in Mumbai, India. It marked the first time a surgery was broadcast live and in 3-D across the Atlantic Ocean."
This would not only allow knowledge transfer of critical surgery across the globe, but also access of remote areas to more advanced assistance. The only and probably really bad issue here is cost consideration, but those will come down in future development trends.
