Found by @SteffWatson. The Hindustan Times highlights another example of how unified communications can facilitiate effecient ways of deploying healthcare to patients. In this example a research team have explored ways to deliver Anesthesia to remote areas of Canada via video conferencing.
In a world first, doctors at McGill’s Department of Anesthesia treated patients undergoing thyroid gland surgery in Italy remotely via videoconferencing from Montreal on August 30 (10). Dr. Thomas Hemmerling and his team used the approach, which is part of new technological advancements, known as
”Teleanesthesia”. And the new approach involves a team of engineers, researchers and anesthesiologists who will ultimately apply the drugs intravenously which are then controlled remotely through an automated system.
The article can be found here. This is very similar to the Cisco Telemedicine deployment in Russia mentioned last week.
