It has been some time since medical students stood around a learned scholar who “worked on” a live patient as part of their medical education. The principle is the same today with many notable changes.

The medical student or contemporary can observe and interact with the Surgeon/Consultant in much the same way but with a greater degree of comfort and less chance of cross infection.
Using our specially designed medical telepresence technologies capable of transmitting high quality, high definition images from multiple sources, numerous “students” and observers can participate in a fully interactive medical procedure. Audio quality is also in high definition ensuring communication between participants is crystal clear. Full recording of the procedure can also be achieved for future play-back or educational purposes.
Specifically adapted for the environment with wipe down surfaces and interfaces to specialist technologies including endoscopic camera views, echo images and vital signs monitors, our mobile systems can be moved between different theatres.
