“Lenovo offers the ideal foundations for our software—alongside their partner Varjo they provide market-leading VR technology that is designed for enterprise deployment, and they’re already embedded in the healthcare industry. Together, we’re embarking on projects such as the radiology initiative at this US Healthcare Organization and medical specialty clinic in Ecuador that will change the world. VR technology is now mature enough to be deployed in healthcare to have a real impact on clinical decision-making and diagnostic work.”

Improving health equity with VR technology
This US Healthcare Organization used Lenovo workstations, Varjo VR headsets, and Luxsonic software to co-inspect medical images with a medical specialty clinic in Ecuador. This helped increase access to healthcare training and combat a worldwide shortage of specialist radiologists.
Customer Problem
Too few specialist radiologists worldwide and unequal access to medical training led Ecuadorian and U.S. clinicians to look for a way to level the playing field.
Lenovo Solution
This US Healthcare Organization and Ecuadorian clinic used Lenovo workstations, Varjo VR headsets, and Luxsonic software to meet in a virtual reading room.
Business Impact
Accelerated diagnoses and improved treatment accuracy. Reduced cost and increased access to medical training, helping to address the knowledge gap between the US and Ecuador.
“This could be the first step in addressing health inequity in Ecuador, and for increasing educational opportunities around the world.”
