The article discusses the use of hologram technology at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, Texas, which is reportedly the first hospital in the United States to implement this technology for doctor-patient interactions. The holograms allow doctors to virtually “beam” into a patient’s room, providing a more personal and interactive experience compared to traditional video conferencing. The technology is particularly useful for remote consultations, allowing specialists to virtually assess patients without being physically present. The holograms are projected using a combination of cameras, speakers, and a specialized hologram display, creating a 3D image that can move and interact with the patient. The article highlights the potential benefits of this technology, such as improved access to specialized care, reduced travel time for doctors, and enhanced patient satisfaction. However, it also acknowledges potential challenges, such as privacy concerns and the need for robust security measures to protect patient data.
