It’s no secret that advances in technology allow for more efficient ways to conduct business, interact and find information. Every new software invention provides hundreds of breakthroughs. The health care industry is starting to benefit from some new technologies that are connecting patients with doctors around the country, and around the world, to collaborate on the diagnosis and treatment of children who are ill.
An expansion of networks and a growing platform of teleconferencing and video conferencing technologies allow doctors in different geographic locations to share information and create personalized treatment plans without the child having to travel from doctor to doctor.
Cisco’s new initiative, Connected Healthy Kids, connects physicians almost instantly to share information, knowledge and expertise. While the program will likely help adults as well, the increased connectivity is especially useful for pediatric specialists. Personalized treatments can be decided on quickly and shared with all doctors who are involved in diagnosis and treatment.
While it’s still in the beginning stages, Cisco’s new program will greatly help the children’s medical community. To find out more, check out Cisco’s video explaining the technology.
