Beaming the Future: Holograms and the Next Era of Healthcare

This week’s episode of Healthcare On Air spotlights how hologram technology is breaking barriers in healthcare access, training, and patient engagement.

Host Robin Goldsmith sits down with David Nussbaum, Founder and Chairman of Proto Hologram, to explore how life-sized, real-time “beamed” presence is transforming the way doctors, educators, and patients connect.

From enabling top medical professors to deliver immersive lectures across the globe, to allowing oncologists to consult with rural and tribal communities without travel, Proto’s HIPAA-compliant platform is redefining telehealth. Nussbaum shares the origin story of shrinking large-scale holographic stages into portable, high‑resolution booths, the challenges of adoption in healthcare, and why low‑latency, high‑fidelity connectivity is key to life‑saving conversations.

This forward‑looking discussion reveals how a mix of innovation, connectivity, and vision is creating new possibilities for care delivery—bridging distances, maximizing expertise, and making face‑to‑face connection possible anywhere.
