An article in Informationweek briefly described how Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is linking patients in ambulances with remote medical specialists. Their ambulances are equipped with video cameras and digital stethoscopes.
"This is telemedicine on the go," said Dr. Hamilton Schwartz, who came up with an idea for using high-resolution video and other telemedicine gear, such as digital stethoscopes, for pediatric patients--including sick premature infants--while these children are in transit to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center from other area hospitals.
Mass gen.hospital PICU is equipped with BOTS or PICU BOTS which link attendings at home to PICU patients and can virtually examine them and advise the in-house physicians. My dream is coming through! I talked about this kind of technology in 2001.

TransportAV is the name of the system Dr. Schwartz is using, and my company, GlobalMedia Group of Scottsdale, Arizona, makes it. TransportAV is one of our unique and innovative telemedicine solutions. I invite you to visit our Web site, www.globalmedia.com, and see the others. While there, go to "Video Gallery." The first video is a Cincinnati TV report on TransportAV. Just be patient because it takes a minute or so to load the rather large HD video file.
