West Cancer Center Debuts Holographic Doctors

The Future Party’s David Vendrell wrote, “A healthcare and research group out of Memphis, Tennessee is the first in the US to roll out hologram technology at 11 of its clinics to connect cancer doctors with rural patients, so that they don’t have to make the trip to urban medical centers. The Big Picture: Amid a major doctor shortage in the US, tech that can remotely connect people with the care they need — in a way that mimics in-person appointments — may lead to greater empathy and better care. Between the Lines:West Cancer Center is using hologram tech to “address discrepancies in cancer care in rural communities,” according to the director of marketing and patient communications, Julie Flanery.”
