Nathan Eddy of MobiHealthNews wrote about West Cancer Center in Memphis, Tennessee becoming the first healthcare facility to use Proto hologram for actual doctor-patient appointments by beaming doctors from it’s headquarters to its rural clinics across the state. Sylvia Richey, chief medical officer and medical oncologist at West Cancer Center and Research Institute, told MobiHealthNews that often cancer patients living in more rural communities are not able to travel to receive a higher level of care. “The Proto technology allows us to connect with the patient without them having the burden of long distance travel when they are not feeling well,” she said. “The feedback from patients thus far has been one of amazement and positivity.”
