In a fascinating update from the world of health tech, doctors at Toronto General Hospital have been piloting the use of a "smart wheelchair." The wheelchair arrives on its own at the bedside, and patients need only to be helped into it by a nurse or assistant. Thanks to its built-in smarts, the wheelchair knows where to go and can deliver the patient to the correct imaging suite, on time, and without any human assistance.

Doctor-patient relationship play a huge role in health care, but in certain areas, consulting with a physician face-to-face isn’t possible without significant time spent traveling. Crescent Regional Hospital in Lancaster, Texas is employing the futuristic “Holobox,” a system created by Dutch company Holoconnects. They're becoming the first in the nation to utilize holographic technology for patient visits. It projects a life-size, 3D holographic display of the physician using it, enabling doctors at the hospital to consult with patients at a clinic 30 miles away in real time. See how it works: https://bit.ly/4cJWXEW https://bit.ly/3xKTZkQ
Texas hospital is reportedly 1st in US to use holograms for doctor-patient visits
