Gearing up for Christmas Day, Santa Claus visited hospital locations in Philadelphia, Montreal, Los Angeles and Boston earlier this month thanks to NTT’s telehealth solutions. Santa and NTT used large screens, high-definition video cameras and holiday-themed rooms to let more than 100 children interact with Old Saint Nick this year.

Claus just couldn’t step away from the North Pole in the weeks leading up to the big day, reports confirmed.

A room in each hospital was decorated and transformed into a “winter wonderland,” and each child received a special gift bag from Mr. Claus, a press release said.

“Every child should be able to receive the help they need from a trained medical professional, and have the chance to visit Santa during the holidays,” said Mitchell Hershkowitz, vice president and general manager, of intelligent workplace for NTT Ltd.

“Telehealth services can help bring both the magic of the holidays and modern medicine to people who may not otherwise be able to experience either.”
