Mercy Ship, Anastasis |
|
Volunteers working on the Mercy Ship Anastasis will now be able to seek a second opinion on histological samples from an expert located anywhere in the World at the click of a mouse.
Thanks to satellite technology no matter where in the world the Mercy Ship is docked, volunteer staff using its newly acquired Nikon COOLSCOPE will be able to load samples and subsequently make images available over the internet. These will be accessed by authorised experts in the UK, who log in to a secure and dedicated webpage. Such is the sophistication of the COOLSCOPE a Pathologist can not only view the live image, but also control the microscope itself and download the image to a server or local folder. Verbal communication of the diagnosis between the ships medical team and the remote consultant is made using telecommunications.
The COOLSCOPE was purchased for the flagship by Professor Lord Ian McColl, Vice Chairman of the global charity Mercy Ships, and Professor of Surgery at Guy's Hospital in London, who commented, gNikon's COOLSCOPE will aid Mercy Ships in its endeavour to bring world-class free-of-charge medical assistance, relief aid, training and education to developing nations where it would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable. For the first time expert consultations can be made remotely and immediately.
