Telemedicine Hub Pilot Project Unveiled in Montreal
On November 25, 2024, the Canadian Space Agency announced the unveiling of a telemedicine hub pilot project at the Pierrefonds CLSC in Montreal. This initiative, part of the Connected Care Medical Modules (C2M2) project, aims to adapt space technology for Earth-based healthcare needs. The project will allow patients to self-monitor vital signs like blood pressure and oxygen levels, potentially enhancing healthcare accessibility and efficiency. This development marks a significant step in integrating space innovations into Canadian healthcare.
