Under this collaboration, St. Joseph Health System will have seven interactive wellness stations that will help improve access to specialty care, urgent care, wellness and health improvement services. This new pilot will be rolled out in the next several months in various Southern California locations including physician and patient sites.
This project will allow physicians and other health and wellness specialists to connect with patients virtually using the AT&T global network and real-time, immersive multi-point video and audio technologies. The focus of this pilot is to address the needs of patients who experience financial, social, geographic and other barriers to care.
