Enables remote diagnostics in their rural community
- [Smith:]
- We have a very active telemedicine program –
- [Lindberg:]
- Oh, yeah, that's good.
- [Smith:]
- so we're able to access a lot of resources.
- [Lindberg:]
- How does that work?
- [Smith:]
- Just as I would refer a patient to see a specialist an hour or two hours away going into a larger community I can similarly refer to UC Davis or one of the UCs - so we have this specialized camera that will highlight for example a little bump on my finger. It will blow up on the camera that the provider is looking at remotely ?and then give guidance back to the providers at the local site to say try this medicine or this is reflective of some other diagnosis or what the treatment is.
- [Lindberg:]
- Yeah, sure.
