New 3D technology could soon bring surgeons closer to patients in Africa’s most remote regions
SUMMARY: Charles Owusu Aseku, struggling with a keloid on his neck, had traveled extensively for treatment until he participated in Ghana’s first 3D telemedicine trial. The initiative, powered by Microsoft’s research team, allows remote consultations using a 3D model of the patient captured in a van equipped with advanced cameras and lighting. Multiple doctors from around the world assess the patient, offering diverse opinions. This technology addresses the scarcity of specialist doctors in Africa and provides patients in remote areas with expert consultations. Despite challenges like unreliable internet, the trial could improve access to medical care across the continent.
