“’VA recently teamed up with Philips, VFW, and the American Legion to provide equipment for remote telehealth exam rooms. The project, dubbed ‘Atlas,’ will enable Veterans to conduct virtual appointments with VA care teams and specialists.”
“Philips made a pledge to VA several months ago to design the prototype rooms with input from Veterans and then donate the equipment for placement in halls for convenient access. The first of these rooms will be available at 10 locations in the coming months…”
“VA and Philips began testing the Atlas prototypes in three locations: Eureka, Montana; Linesville, Pennsylvania; and Los Banos, California.

VA plans to bridge this geographical and digital divide with the power of telehealth.” Read the full article here.
