The Government, impressed by the system's potential to offer specialists medical care in even remote areas, will soon constitute a task force to coordinate the implementation of the proposed project with the stake-holders concerned, the Minister of State for Higher Education and Medical Education, G. Parameshwar, told presspersons here today. Developed by California-based TeleVital Inc., the technology empowers medical service providers to monitor, diagnose, treat, and manage their patients from any remote location, overcoming barriers of time and distance. The NASA-sponsored MediTAC group used TeleVital's software for the first reported remote monitoring of vital signs during a live surgical procedure in Ecuador. The company officials explained: "Our technology not only connected the anaesthesiologist in Virginia in the U.S. to the surgeon in Ecuador, but also helped the anaesthesiologist to detect a potentially life-threatening anomaly in the heart rhythm of the young woman undergoing a gall bladder operation 3,000 miles away."
