For patients suffering from chronic pain or movement disorders, visiting the doctor can be a serious ordeal. Abbott’s NeuroSphere Virtual Clinic aims to help by enabling physicians to talk to their patients over a video app, as well as remotely adjust a range of Abbott’s implanted neuro-modulation devices.
