Rural Success Story

Philips tele-ultrasound technology is helping expand maternal specialty care access in rural New Mexico.

Perinatal Associates of New Mexico supports 44% of all pregnancies across the state through a network of 12 locations and more than 40 ultrasound systems. Using tele-ultrasound technology, maternal-fetal medicine specialists collaborate remotely with local providers during exams, allowing high-risk patients to receive specialist support without traveling long distances.
