Project ECHO has been a landmark business innovation within the healthcare industry but now its principles are even being applied to other sectors. It arose when Dr. Sanjeev Arora who is considered as the top authority on Hepatitis C in the state of New Mexico, was unable to deal with the increasing number of cases. So he created this online video based portal to communicate and consult with other specialists worldwide dealing with patients having similar problems. Presently ECHO has ninety four academic or expert hubs across the US and sixteen other countries. Boston is the latest city to enlist the services of ECHO. Like Apple, ECHO now has its share of brand advocates who champion its work done.
