Article Synopsis
- A real-time 3D Telemedicine system was developed using Microsoft’s Holoportation™ to facilitate international medical team meetings for complex reconstructive surgeries, enabling pre, during, and post-surgical consultations.
- A proof-of-concept clinic involving UK and Ghanaian medical facilities assessed patients and surgical plans, providing a 3D visual experience for patients and enhancing logistical discussions.
- Feedback from participants indicated high satisfaction and usability ratings, demonstrating the potential for this technology to improve surgical collaboration and patient care in low-to-middle-income countries.
