Gary Brayton, National Sales Manager explains, “We are thrilled to release this innovative new telepresence solution to the market. We are seeing specifically in the healthcare IT marketplace a growing need for tablet based clinical solutions to carry out a wide variety of activities. Our UltraLite 100 Series was developed to provide an agile platform to fully leverage the compact design of tablet computers. Health Systems are not only using tablets today for a wide variety of Electronic Medical Records (EHR) initiatives; they’re also looking to connect physicians with patients remotely for telehealth sessions.  The Kubi is truly an incredible solution to provide users with a simple control system to tilt and pan their tablets for a more lifelike communication experience. It’s a real head turner both literally and figuratively speaking.”
