| At a patient’s bedside, a hospital nurse checks medication levels using a handheld device and a wireless network. In an operating room, a brain surgeon calls up computerized tomography (CT) scans instantly from a high-speed storage area network. In a snowbound village, a woman gets a pulmonary exam over a broadband telemedicine link, conducted by a specialist 300 miles away. At home, a patient uploads blood chemistry readings directly to her physician. Virtually everywhere, Cisco networking helps enable better care—and healthier lives. |

Collaborating in real time, auto designers in Japan, assembly technicians in the United States, and component makers worldwide trade data over a Cisco intelligent network. Manufacturing processes are fine-tuned as the car is still taking shape. This network-driven teamwork means a new minivan will debut months earlier than was previously possible. Cost savings can go toward more safety and fuel-efficiency features, with no increase in the sticker price. Which makes for happier customers in the showroom. Closer caregiving and tighter teamwork. |
