New FP7 eHealth Project - MEDNet

MEDNet Project will develop a medical network that addresses the problems of providing health care from a distance. The medical network will be supported by expert physician located in urban cities of Latin America. The medical applications will be vary from gynaecology, paediatric, cardiology to typical infectious diseases for the region such as malaria and tuberculosis.

The examinations will involve ultrasound examinations, ECG tests, blood test and supporting medical diagnosis. All the patient information, extracted from the examinations, along with patientÂ’s history, will be stored in a health care database, along with the demographic information and medication prescription.

MEDNet project will connect isolated regions of the Amazon, in two different countries: Brazil, Peru. Moreover MedNet will make use of AmerHis system (satellite communication) based on DVB-RCS providing QoS for real-time communication and collaboration.

MEDNet will make use of European standards for the communication and storage and medical data presentation.

The project will empower medical doctors to constantly and remotely keep track of their patients with minimum effort, assisted by an intelligent automated infrastructure. Furthermore, remote doctors will be able to share and request assistance form expert doctors located in urban cities.

A sophisticated Collaboration Model will manage the whole service and will be aware of each patientÂ’s medical record, providing an information channel between the medical staff, the patients and their carers.
