C-COM Satellite Systems’ tech is helping to bridge a critical communications divide in South America, where mobile hospitals are on the frontline of healthcare delivery.
The Ottawa-based company announced earlier this month that its iNetVu satellite antenna system has been attached to telemedicine vehicles serving South America’s “hospital deserts” – remote areas of the region far from comprehensive medical facilities.
This communications tech connects these mobile healthcare teams with specialized clinics in Lima, enabling services such as early-detection cancer screenings for residents in these areas. Results are securely returned later that same day, representing a drastic efficiency improvement.
