This E-Health Insider article reveals Cisco’s ambitious plans to make us all more responsible for our health. At the Telco 2.0 3rd Executive Brainstorm in London, Cisco’s healthcare director for internet business solutions, Nicholas Augustinos, said: “With HealthPresence patients will be able to seek medical advice from anywhere; booths can be fitted anywhere from shopping malls to hotels to post offices. Ultimately, we’d like to see it packaged up and brought into the home.” An interesting article, and see related item in sister publication e-health Europe.
It would also be nice to see them put the Disabled Living Foundation’s ‘Ask SARA‘ system into the pod – assuming it is fully wheelchair accessible, of course.
