Ghana Telemedicine/Telehealth Project

"The development of strong health systems in Ghana has been hindered by obstacles which are common throughout the developing third world. These obstacles include the lack of adequate health facilities and a shortage of motivated health personnel, especially in rural communities: a lack of local community involvement in the planning and ongoing of health facilities; and an over-reliance on centralized government bureaucracies for the long term management of health care programs. Thus telemedicine/telehealth development project at Dr. Martin Luther King Memorial ( MLKM ) Clinic in Accra, Ghana, West Africa, is intended to complement the already existing health delivery systems and particularly to serve the poor, disadvantaged and marginalized people living in the rural areas ambitiously works to overcome these issues. http://members.home.net/mlkmc/index.html

The Hospital for Sick Children
Toronto, Ontario, Canada

"The Telemedicine Clinic at Sick Kids is a collaborative project with 'Kids Links' at Thunder Bay Regional Hospital and Health Sciences North. An interactive video link between Sick Kids and Health Sciences North transfers information from one site to another and projects it on two TV monitors. X-rays, cardiograms and ultrasound tests are transferred electronically and projected in the form of high-resolution images and sound.

"With the assistance of a telemedicine nurse in Thunder Bay, a physician in Toronto can direct an examination, make a diagnosis and provide follow-up care for most children who need medical, surgical or dental assessment before, during or after treatment. The Telemedicine Clinic will help to cut down on the number of visits to Toronto, but it will not eliminate them. In some cases it will be necessary to actually see the patient." http://www.sickkids.on.ca/

Information Society

Information technologies and communication are bringing about an industrial revolution based on information, on the scale of that which rocked the 19th century. These technologies and the advances of digital electronics are now allowing the creation of new multimedia telematic services and applications which combine sound, image and text and for which all means of communication - telephone, telefax, television and computers - are used in a complementary way. The development of these new means of communication represents an element of increased competitiveness for enterprises and opens up new perspectives in terms of both work organization and job creation. The diffusion of these new technologies at all levels of economic and social life is thus gradually transforming our society into an "information society" http://europa.eu.int/information_society/, http://europa.eu.int/information_society/eeurope/ehealth/index_en.htm

International Telecommunication Union

The International Telecommunication Union is unique among international organizations in that it was founded some 135 years ago on the principle of cooperation between governments and the private sector. Over the past 20 years, telecommunications have grown from a tool that facilitated person-to-person communications to the foundation that underpins a huge number of human activities, from international trade and commerce to health and, increasingly, education. Fast, reliable telecommunication networks are now a vital ingredient in the trans-border delivery of services such as banking, transportation, tourism, online information and electronic home shopping. With a membership encompassing telecommunication policy-makers and regulators, network operators, equipment manufacturers, hardware and software developers, regional standards-making organizations and financing institutions, ITU's activities, policies and strategic direction are determined and shaped by the industry it serves. The three Sectors of the Union - Radiocommunication (ITU-R), Telecommunication Standardization (ITU-T), and Telecommunication Development (ITU-D) - work today to build and shape tomorrow's networks and services. Their activities cover all aspects of telecommunication, from setting standards that facilitate seamless interworking of equipment and systems on a global basis to adopting operational procedures for the vast and growing array of wireless services and designing programmes to improve telecommunication infrastructure in the developing world. http://www.itu.int

Medical Computer Society of India

"In the last two years "Internet" has made communication cheap, reliable and easy. Numerous medical web-sites keeps sprouting up everyday. It is now possible to attend one of the Internet Grand-Rounds at hospitals in USA or England. Tele-medicine is only round the corner and the advent of this is going to entirely change the way we practise medicine. It is not far when a patient in Chennai is likely to have his general practitioner in Bombay or London, or a specialist in Australia may help a surgeon in Aurangabad to perform a difficult surgery.

Today, there seems to be a perceptible lack of a common platform of us doctors from various specialities who can discuss something they have in common. This obviously is due to rapid advancement in different fields of medicine and specialization. Application of Computers in medicine has a common thread as it interests and fascinates most of us. Hence it was felt that a new society should be floated and common goals chalked out." http://www.mcsindia.org/
