The system pictured here is a non-live demonstration of the technology. It is thought the fully deployed system will be in booths situated in public areas at remote locations, such as police stations in small towns or villages, walk-in centres or supermarkets.
Dr Webster said: "At present some patients have to travel long distances in order to access health care. Care can be provided over the phone but with the introduction of video healthcare we can now interact with the patient (and their carer) in a fashion more in keeping with a face-to-face consultation. This allows us to pick up on non verbal cues and visually examine the patient."
