Dr. Joseph Broderick, Chairman of University of Cincinnati's College of Medicine Department of Neurology also spoke of how Ohio's broadband technology will benefit his clinical work using telemedicine to facilitate treatments for stroke patients. Broderick highlighted the technology challenges the medical research community faces in transmitting medical information, particularly complex genomic data that consumes so much capacity and bandwidth that current broadband speeds can't handle. Ohio's new 100 Gpbs network will change that.
Up until now, the only way to transmit these data was to physically load them onto large external hard drives and ship them between institutions," Broderick said. "At these new unprecedented speeds, we will be able to transmit these data in minutes at the click of a button."
Dr. Samer Narouze M.D., Chairman, Center for Pain Medicine at Summa Western Reserve Hospital also joined by videoconference to discuss new, innovative procedures being used by the medical community in Akron and how Ohio's extensive broadband network will benefit the state for training doctors on the newest clinical procedures.
"Ohio is already a national leader both in advanced medical procedures and its unsurpassed connectivity within the state and to the broader national medical community," Narouze said. "Increasing the speed and capacity of this network will help expand medical training and make Ohio an advanced competitor for federal research grants."
"Ohio has a rich history as a pioneer of innovation whether it'
