The Virtual Doctor is In - Pasadena Magazine

There was a time when doctors made house calls. That time is coming again, except now your doctor will be able to make 100 at once, while performing surgery at the same time. Dr. Leslie Saxon's USC Center for Body Computing and USC's Virtual Care Clinic leverage commercial tech innovations to advance medical care and delivery. "First thing we have to do is take your picture," says Dr. Leslie Saxon, Founder and Director of USC's Center for Body Computing, as she enthusiastically greets me at the Playa Vista campus location of the recently opened Virtual Care Clinic. I'm here to learn about the still nascent yet rapidly expanding field of digital medicine, and Dr. Saxon wants to show me what the face of the medical future that she envisions will look like--it turns out, just like an actual face, in fact.
