The new system will allow MGH clinical experts to extend their reach to remote patients and their physicians for second opinions, the hospital said.
Corista CEO Elizabeth Wingard said: "In accessing specialists online and getting an immediate response, remote patients and hospitals can improve patient care with expertise that would have been delayed by days using couriers.
"Eliminating the delay improves the patients’ care by enabling providers to initiate the appropriate treatment plans immediately."
