Hospitals Using Robots for Patients

Some hospitals such as Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, are using videoconferencing robots to visit patients when their real doctor is away. The robot utilizes a built-in camera and microphone. The robots are made by InTouch Technologies, which is a privately held company. InTouch uses Cisco (CSCO), which trades on NASDAQ, for the wireless networks for the robots in the hospitals.
