Med Center announces new tech with USDA grant Published 5:00 am Thursday, January 29, 2026Med Center Health announced the second of two USDA grants totaling $1,469,130 on Wednesday to bolster technology at rural hospitals and some outpatient and school-based clinics across southcentral Kentucky. But because of the grants, MCH anticipates fully deploying the technology some six to seven months down the road. The technology also better enables patients to share their updated medical records with their family or other physicians, he added. It can also allow patients in telehealth sessions with their physicians to pull in another person, such as a family member or care team member at another facility, he said. The camera can also analyze a person’s skin color, breathing and other characteristics while accounting for current labs, imaging and documentation to monitor if their condition is deteriorating, alerting a care team member if needed.
