The technology is currently being tested out at the neonatal unit in
Bangalore where doctors are able to analyze and detect any respiratory
illness or other medical conditions in the infants without the need of
attaching contact probes to the skin. The technology makes use
of a camera whose lights penetrate the skin and the information is
captures and converted into health indicators. With the process being
absolutely safe for the patients, long observation periods is possible
and it also allows greater mobility to the patients. "Our
partnership with Manipal University Hospital is helping us move the
technology closer to reality. This research can have great implications
for the future of healthcare and telemedicine in the country. As Xerox
conducts research in the area of healthcare, not only are Xerox
scientists learning about anatomy and physiology but also gaining
knowledge in the medical field by interacting with medical
practitioners. We appreciate Manipal University Hospital's cooperation
with us to partner, learn and conduct research with real patients", the
vice president of Xerox Corp and Director of Xerox Research Centre in
India, Dr Manish Gupta said.
