Crestron partners with the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital to donate touchscreens, keypads and remotes to the plane, which includes a theater, used to deliver training to eye doctors around the world.
Crestron and ORBIS International, a nonprofit humanitarian organization that works in developing countries to save sight worldwide, have teamed up to outfit the next-generation Flying Eye Hospital (FEH), a MD-10 aircraft donated by FedEx, with Crestron’s technology.
Crestron will have touchscreens, keypads or remotes on-board so healthcare professionals can focus on their patients. The next-generation FEH will include an operating theater, laser treatment room, communications center, recovery room, audiovisual/IT room and a 46-seat classroom, all of which will rely on the Crestron’s technology.
“Crestron’s audio/video solutions will serve as an invaluable advantage in ORBIS’s mission to continue to save sight worldwide. ORBIS is fortunate to receive their full support as we build our new training facility,” says Jack McHale, director, MD-10 Project at ORBIS International. “Crestron’s generous donation and state-of-the-art control and automation systems will help us continue to provide the gift of sight to people around the globe.”
