Telemedicine is healthcare's new frontier - Space Ref
Telemedicine is healthcare's new frontier, a means of facilitating the distribution of human resources and professional competences. It can speed up diagnosis and therapeutic care delivery and allow peripheral and primary healthcare providers to receive continuous assistance from specialised centres. The European Space Agency has decided to prepare the ground for a Telemedicine Programme to be presented at the next ESA Ministerial Conference. This is in response to the need to further tailor support for the development of telemedicine via satellite to comply with the key priorities of the healthcare system. The aim of this initiative is to set up a programmatic framework able to host research, development and pilot utilisation activities in the field of telemedicine via satellite. To this end, a Telemedicine Working Group has been set up, composed mainly of users (health professionals and patients' representatives).
