News Nation - One of the most significant challenges confronting the American health care system is the scarcity of primary care physicians in rural areas. According to the Association of Medical Colleges, the U.S. could see a shortage of up to 50,000 doctors by 2033. In an effort to address this issue, OnMed has developed a versatile office setup that can be established in any building throughout the U.S. The innovative solution enables patients to engage in private face-to-face appointments with a doctor on a screen just a few feet away, while also offering the capability to conduct half a dozen diagnostic tests. “Blood pressure, we have weight, we have temperature, we have a digital stethoscope, we have a pulse oximeter,” said OnMed CEO Tom Vanderheiden. “Then, we have a high-definition camera that does a number of things that will do ocular work so we can look deeply into the eyes. we can look into your mouth down your throat for sore throats, things like that.”
