Healthcare today makes extensive use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and wide-area networks are used to exchange medical reports and images. Thus care can be extended to mobile patients and to the patient's homes by using telemonitoring and teleconferencing facilities. Real-time teleconsulting, remote diagnosis, clinical data transmission and multimedia medical content are particularly needed when the access to medical services is difficult like in geographically isolated or distant locations. Also medical training and the further education of health professionals benefit from real-time transmission of medical interventions and results like histology images.
The Integrated Project “Standard and Interoperable satellite solution to deploy HEALTH care services over Wide Area” (HEALTHWARE) has thoroughly validated the usefulness of a light and cost effective satellite technology (DVB-RCS) in geographic areas without sufficient terrestrial telecommunication capacities for interactive telehealth services. HEALTHWARE invites you cordially to a Multisite and Demonstration event. The primary workshop site is located at Thales Alenia Space premises in Cannes, France.
