| Detailed information about subsectors integrating the meeting |
Telemonitoring: Equipments using audio, video, and other telecommunications and electronic information
processing technologies to monitor the health status of a patience from a distance.
Teleradiology: Electronic transmission systems of radiological images from one location to another for
the purposes of interpretation and/or consultation.
Telepathology: System in which the image of the specimen is digitally transmitted and examined by a
pathologist at a remote location
Home-based telemedicine and telecare applications: Remote systems in health care used for private
end-users.
Diagnostic imaging: Diagnostic equipments in which all modalities of radiant energies are used for
the detection of abnormalities throughout the body. Imaging technologies utilising radiation emitted by x-ray
tubes, radionuclides, thermagraphic and ultrasonic devices, etc.
Distance learning: Platforms and contents in which the majority of the instruction occurs when student
and instructor are not in the same place. Distance learning may employ correspondence study, or audio, video,
or computer technologies.
Videoconferencing: Actual-time equipments, generally two way transmission of digitized video images
between multiple locations; each individual location in a videoconferencing system requires a room equipped
to send and receive video.
Telemedicine software: Tools which belong to the domain of intellectual property in contrast to the
appliances which facilitates their reproduction for the use of remote medical expertise at the point of need.
Computer hardware and peripherals: The mechanical and electrical components of computers, and devices
that are attached externally (scanners, etc).
e-Health: The application of internet in health area.
Telecommunication networks: The use of wire, radio, visual, or other electromagnetic channels to transmit
or receive signals for voice, data , and video communications.
Satellite communications: Systems of communications using radio signals sent to and from a satellite
orbiting the Earth and allowing connection between points at a great distance.
Information campaigns: Raising awareness and documentation specific activities in the health sector
implemented by technological means.
Hospital management: Specific equipments (softwares, etc) to health and medical center administration.
Emergency support: Combined equipments (telecommunications, vehicles,…) aiming at assisting in urgent situations.
