New medical technologies of the future

摘要

Over the last fifteen years OP 2000 has implemented various satellite-based networks for telemedicine (GALENOS, DELTASS, MEDASHIP, EMISPHER) using the high-end interactive video communication system WinVicos for telemedical applications like teleconsultation and second opinion at a moderate transmission bandwidth of 0.5–1 Mbps. This use of modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as enabling tools for healthcare services (eHealth) has introduced new ways of creating ubiquitous access to high-level medical care for all, anytime and anywhere (uHealth).
