Current Visions
“The Future is here …
. . . it’s the Information Age”
If Telemedicine were …
Ubiquitous
In every home, school, workplace desktop, mall, airport, etc
Free
Ultra-bandwidth, continuous access, at no cost, etc
… then what is the next step?

Virtual Soldier Scan
What if we could . . .
•Predict the performance of each soldier under
a thousand different scenarios/stresses
• Instantly and automatically accurately diagnose
every internal combat injury
•Determine the potential of hundreds of
equipment, drug, training, etc. enhancements
•Estimate the effects of wounding of every
type of weapon under every situation
•Perform clinical trials for a vaccine on a
million soldiers over 20 years time – in one week
…. just for starters
