For RUH orthopedic surgeon Dr. David Sauder, the acquisition of the limb positioner has generated many positive outcomes both for patients and for members of the medical team.

It also significantly reduces medical transportation costs for patients and the time they and their families must otherwise spend travelling to Saskatoon and back to their home communities,” says Dr. Mendez.

Dr. Mendez stresses that remote presence technology does not replace human beings. Rather, it is a medium that allows doctors, nurses and other health professionals to meet in a virtual environment, thus narrowing the gap of inequity in healthcare access experienced in under-serviced areas of the province.

“Remote presence technology is breaking down the barriers of time and distance and, in my mind, is going to transform the current paradigm of centralized healthcare delivery and ultimately save lives,” adds Dr. Mendez. 9 (l-r) Endovascular Neurosurgeons Dr. Michael Kelly PhD, MD, FRCSC, FACS, FAANS and Dr. Lissa Peeling, BSc, MD, FRCSC ANGIOGRAPHY BIPLANE SUITE AND EQUIPMENT A LIFE-SAVER
