    350 Needs in Low Resource Settings
    (Presented at Med-e-tel 2005 Conference in Luxembourg, 2005-04-07) Zolfo, M.; Lynen, L.; Huyst, V.; Arnould, L.
    eHealth and Education: Telemedicine is a way to deliver health care in remote areas. Meeting the goal of accessing health information in developing countries and facing the necessity to scale up the use of antiretrovirals (ARVs) in low resource settings, the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp (ITMA) set up a computer aided training programme for health providers, working in disadvantaged areas. Expert advice from HIV/AIDS specialists about ARVs and management of Opportunistic Infections (OIs) has been offered to colleagues working in different resource limited settings.

    Architecting Disparate eHealth Systems Interoperable through Web Services
    (Presented at Med-e-tel 2005 Conference in Luxembourg, 2005-04-07) Ali, S.; Kiefer, S.
    Internet as eHealth Tool: Tele-Homecare is an active research field for providing preeminent acute medical homecare services to the patients. State-of-the-art telematic homecare platforms are usually afflicted with the problems of interoperability with their client Health Information Systems (HISs) regarding exchanging patient's medical information in order to provide factual Telemonitoring, Telediagnosis, and Teletreatment. In our research work, we investigated the application of Web Services, a new breed of distributed computing, which is becoming a de-facto standard for the automatic on-the-fly orchestration of readymade on-demand services in the field of eHealth to achieve interoperability among disparate HISs.

    ARTEMIS: A Semantic Web Service-Bases P2P Infrastructure for the Interoperability of Medical Information Systems
    (Presented at Med-e-tel 2005 Conference in Luxembourg., 2005-04-06) Dogac, A.; Laleci, G.; Kabak, Y.; Bicer, V.; Unal, S.; Gulderen, O.
    This presentation will describe the architecture of the Artemis project, which exploits ontologies based on the domain knowledge exposed by the healthcare information standards through standard bodies like HL7, CEN TC251, ISO TC215 and GEHR. We use these standards for two purposes: first to describe the Web service functionality semantics, that is, the meaning associated with what a Web service does and secondly to describe the meaning associated with the messages or documents exchanged through Web services.

    An Assessment of Telemedicine Possibilities in Massive Casualties Situations
    (2004-07) Kurapkiene, Skaidra; Paunksnis, Alvydas; Barzdziukas, Valerijus; Vaicaitiene, Ramute; Sereika, Vygintas
    The use of existing possibilities of Telemedicine Center of Kaunas University of Medicine allows the live (on-line) distant consultations from high-level medical specialised centers to rural areas. In order to expand the use of distant consultations facilities is essential to apply its possibilities in large mass casualty events, decreasing geographical isolation of event place.

    Biomedical Expert Internet System Based on the Morphological Biofluid Analysis
    (Presented at Med-e-tel 2005 Conference in Luxembourg, 2005-04-07) Buzoverya, M.; Zorya, V.; Ermakov, P.
    Internet as eHealth Tool: A Biomedical Expert INTERNET System is presented as the computerized medical system based on a new diagnostics technology. The technology is built upon the bio-liquid morphological analysis and allows pathological conditions to be revealed at early (pre-clinical) stages of diseases. If the approach succeeds, the given technology via Internet will be available to European users.

    Book of Abstracts: Future of Rural Peoples: Rural Economy, Healthy People, Environment, Rural Communities. Fifth International Symposium
    (Institute of Agricultural Rural and Environmental Health, University of Saskatchewan, 2003-10) University of Saskatchewan
    The Fifth International Symposium, The Future of Rural Peoples, addresses the health of people in the context of the economy, the environment, and the community. With profound changes affecting the very survival of rural people, this historic conference sought to connect new knowledge and past experience in new ways to point to the Future of Rural Peoples. The Symposium was intended to be inclusive of all rural settings, from those in fully industrialized countries to those in emerging or subsistence economies. This symposium brought together researchers, policy makers, rural people, and practitioners to consider systems, strategies, projects and processes that have contributed to healthy rural economies, healthy people, healthy environment and healthy communities.

    Broadband Videoconferencing as a Knowledge Management Tool
    (2002) Wolfe, Mark
    A Knowledge Management framework was adopted to augment research and evaluation of a broadband videoconferencing trial undertaken in 2002 at the University of Calgary. Involving distributed research teams across Canada, the InSite Broadband Collaborative Research Project was designed to measure the extent to which knowledge workers embedded in mediated workplace networks would adopt and then adapt small- and large-format videoconferencing in support of informal interaction aimed at knowledge creation and transfer. Textual output from informal interaction in videoconferencing and chat room sessions was recorded over a 5-month period. Data were analyzed using qualitative and content analysis methods to test for knowledge processes thought to be embedded in informal collaborative interaction. An exit survey comprising nominal and ordinal data was used to measure participant perceptions of using videoconferencing technologies to enhance knowledge-based collaboration. Indicators of knowledge processes in informal interaction were drawn from the KM and videoconferencing literatures. Analysis suggests broadband videoconferencing can be an effective enabler of communication and informal interaction dynamics supportive of knowledge creation and transfer. A concluding summary addresses barriers identified in the study and suggests approaches for future KM research in the video-mediated research domain.
