Online healthcare project with Huawei should expand further in NZ, says doctor.
Dr Lance O Sullivan is sure the ground-breaking MAiPOD health service he has developed in partnership with Huawei will help usher in a new era of accessible, affordable online health care.
A MAiPOD is essentially a 40-foot shipping container, fitted out like a doctor s clinic but with powerful, cloud-based digital health channels. It is designed to bring free healthcare to areas of New Zealand where such care is either not available or not affordable – so the MAiPOD can be loaded on the back of a truck and taken where it is most needed.

The project was announced late last month during a news conference at one of the existing KCI terminals.
