Case Study: CHU in Bordeaux achieves faster diagnoses and expanded medical training with LifeSize HD Video Conferencing

Physicians, Specialists, Professors and Medical Students Benefit from LifeSize Technology at The CHU in Bordeaux

CHU in Bordeaux, a major French university hospital with about 14,000 staff across three sites and close ties to Université Bordeaux Segalen, needed an easy-to-use, high-definition video conferencing system for clinicians, researchers and students. Previous endpoints were technically complex and underused, so the hospital sought an intuitive solution that supported document sharing and could be operated without IT support.

CHU deployed LifeSize Bridge and LifeSize Team 220, doubling simultaneous sessions and supporting up to 24 HD participants; the roll‑out took one month and required only a single workstation per site. The system quickly became a daily tool for multidisciplinary case reviews, regional oncology and pediatric collaboration, and remote university teaching—reducing travel time, speeding diagnoses, expanding training access, and improving patient care with plans to extend use to emergency stroke consults and mobile emergency units.
