A woman talks with a 18 year old patient, Joris (L), as he remotely operates an innovative robot called VIK-e (Victory in Innovation for Kids - electronic) from his sterile room to communicate with people outside, at the Paediatric Haematology and Oncology Institute (IHOPe) in Lyon, on September 29, 2016.
