Steve Holland, M.D.
Senior Clinical Investigator
Laboratory of Host Defenses, Division of Intramural Research, NIAID
Dr. Holland showed NIAID’s use of telemedicine technology as a collaborative effort between NIAID and South Texas Hospital in research on treating multi-drug tuberculosis. Telemedicine gives physicians the opportunity to look directly at a patient and data at a remote location. Working with Dr. Teresa Lightner and a volunteer patient in Texas, Dr. Holland showed images of a patient’s tympanic membrane, retina, skin, and other laboratory and research technologies, which he and Council examined using this technology. They also discussed other available technologies and the scope and progress of the use of these technologies in research.
