INTRODUCTION Telemedicine includes the use of information and communication technology for education in the health sector, tele-education. Sub-Saharan Africa has an extreme shortage of health professionals and as a result, doctors to teach doctors and students. Tele-education has the potential to provide access to education both formal and continuing medical education. While the uptake of telem...

We investigated sequence features of enhancers separated from their target gene by at least one intermediate gene/exon (named tele-enhancers in this study) and enhancers residing inside their target gene locus. In this study, we used whole genome enhancer maps and gene expression profiles to establish a large panel of tele-enhancers. By contrasting tele-enhancers to proximal enhancers targeting...

OBJECTIVES A tele-intensive care unit (tele-ICU) uses telemedicine in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting, applying technology to provide care to critically ill patients by off-site clinical resources. The purpose of this review was to examine the implementation, adoption, and utilization of tele-ICU systems by hospitals to determine their efficiency and efficacy as identified by cost savings ...

One of the goals of the HOMEY project is to develop a technology to be used for deploying innovative tele-medicine services. These new services will be based on an Intelligent Dialog System (IDS), designed and developed to effectively manage an incremental dialog between a tele-medicine system and a patient, taking into account user needs, preferences and time course of her/his disease. The pur...

PURPOSE To design a "low-cost" tele-imaging method allowing real-time tele-ultrasound expertise, delayed tele-ultrasound diagnosis, and tele-radiology between remote peripherals hospitals and clinics (patient centers) and university hospital centers (expert center). MATERIALS AND METHODS A system of communication via internet (IP camera and remote access software) enabling transfer of ultraso...

Telemedicine systems have been steadily increasing in number and scale over the past decades. This increasing trend intensifies the need for telemedicine in the era of national health care system. The increasing size of distributed telemedicine systems creates problem of data integration, vendor lock-in and interoperability. In this thesis, we state the above problems and solutions of current t...

Recently, tele-training has become a hot topic of research within the computer science research community. The computer industry is also interested in tele-training solutions. Distance education is seen by the computer industry as a new growing market and recently we witnessed a proliferation of the first generation of tele-training software packages. The extend to which tele-training systems m...

introduction: over the last decade, the role of clinical librarians in assisting general practitioners to provide better health care has been proved. rapid progress in telecommunication technology has emerged this question. could clinical librarians be able to assist general practitioners working in rural and remote areas through information and communication technologies? this project sought t...
