Marconi's ViPr in Telemedicine Trial at University of Arizona
College of Medicine Marconi and ExhibitOne team to deliver ViPr
Virtual Presence System used in remote medical training trial
program PITTSBURGH, April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Marconi
Corporation plc (LONDON: MONI) (NASDAQ:MRCIY) announced today a
trial with the Arizona Surgical Technology and Education Center
(ASTEC) at the University of Arizona College of Medicine and
ExhibitOne to deploy, test and develop videoconferencing for remote
medical applications and training. Marconi and ExhibitOne
Corporation, an Arizona-based provider of telepresence and
presentation technologies, are working with ASTEC to explore
real-time videoconferencing applications to support ASTEC's medical
simulation education programs using Marconi's ViPr(TM) Virtual
Presence System, an easy- to-use, flexible, high-resolution video
telephony and multimedia communications platform. The applications
will make it easier for students, nurses, residents and physicians
throughout the state and eventually the world to access University
of Arizona College of Medicine faculty, staff and their high-tech
medical simulation training facilities. ViPr will be integrated in
ASTEC's Medical and Surgical Simulation Laboratory at the Arizona
Health Sciences Center by ExhibitOne, which will also provide
support and design services. ASTEC will use the ViPr for
telesurgical consults, distance learning with virtual reality
simulators, and other activities that support medical training.
Additionally, Marconi and ASTEC researchers will work
collaboratively to identify product requirements for future
enhancements to ViPr, including telementoring, telesurgery and
wireless solutions for remote medical training. Telemedicine is the
use of telecommunications technologies to provide and support
health care at a distance. In addition to clinical applications,
telemedicine can also be effective in the ongoing training of
physicians, said Allan J. Hamilton, MD, professor of surgery and
ASTEC executive director. "The goal of the joint project with
ExhibitOne and Marconi is to present, explore and evaluate the
integration of telecommunications technology in the area of health
care training," Hamilton said. "We were very impressed with the
ViPr's easy-to-use interface and its multiparty conferencing
capability. We hope to demonstrate the benefits and cost efficiency
of this blend of medical training and digital technologies." The
mission of the Arizona Surgical Technology and Education Center
(ASTEC) is to deliver medical education and surgical innovation
that maximizes patient safety and improves the accessibility of
medical expertise through technology. The center consists of the
Medical and Surgical Simulation Laboratory, the Advanced Surgical
Technology Development Laboratory, and the Telesurgery and Outreach
Program. About ViPr ViPr combines the immediacy of a telephone call
with the impact of video, utilizing digital high-fidelity audio and
DVD-quality video in an integrated video telephony platform that
provides users with an experience they perceive as virtual
presence. ViPr pioneered the use of SIP (Session Initiation
Protocol) technology and remains the only SIP-based multiparty
desktop video telephony platform, capable of supporting up to 15
simultaneous videoconferencing calls. ViPr also is the only
multiparty video telephony platform that eliminates the Multi-point
Control Unit (MCU), a costly device that traditional
videoconferencing products require for multiparty calls. The MCU
also introduces delay that makes real-time video telephony
impossible. Eliminating the MCU allows ViPr to deliver critical
real-time communications such as remote hearings, where
participants must see every gesture and vocal nuance conveyed with
digital accuracy. About ExhibitOne ExhibitOne is one of the
nation's leading providers of telepresence and presentation
technologies, serving federal, state and local government,
corporations and educational institutions requiring the creative
application of audiovisual technologies. Established in 1995,
ExhibitOne has over 450 fully integrated presentation, digital
recording and videoconferencing solutions installed throughout the
United States. About Marconi Corporation plc Marconi Corporation
