Connecting Specialists with On-site Doctors to Combat Violence Against Children: Heidelberg University Hospital Case Study

The Heidelberg University Hospital is one of the world’s largest medical centres, located in Germany. They have been using Sphere to support victims of childhood violence in onsite locations without access to forensic medical doctors.

Using Sphere, the hospital can equip doctors through remote expert functionality, so that they may gain knowledge from highly trained specialists who are not physically present in their facility. This has resulted in an increase hospital output while decreasing the cost of violence to the state. It has also enabled real-time support to areas where no expertise is available, and improve the speed and accuracy of patient care.
