Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2007 10:22 pmHas it come to this? Robots standing in for doctors at the hospital patients’ bedside?
Not exactly, but some doctors have found a way to use a videoconferencing robot to check on patients while they’re miles from the hospital.
One is at Baltimore’s Sinai Hospital. Outfitted with cameras, a screen and microphone, the joystick-controlled robot is guided into the rooms of Dr. Alex Gandsas’ patients where he speaks to them as if he were right there.
“The system allows you to be anywhere in the hospital from anywhere in the world,” said the surgeon, who specializes in weight-loss surgery.
