ISMETT has participated in the EUROMEDNET (Satellite
Telemedicine Technology for Delivery of Health Care Services)
project co-funded by the European Space Agency and coordinated
by the Telbios Consortium.
Project goals:
Implement SHARED (Satellite Health Access
for Remote Environmental Demonstrator) network sites
Define and implement telemedicine pilot
services to assess satellite telemedicine in terms of quality
and quantity
Propose a method of use of the telemedicine
network and assess service quality
ISMETT had the clinical responsibility for the
pilot operations of the Sicilian network, the definition of the
user requirements, and the validation of health system technology
systems.
Two MIGRA telepathology workstations were installed:
one in the ISMETT Anatomy Lab, the other at the Department of
Anatomy of San Luigi Hospital of ARNAS Garibaldi in Catania. A
DES satellite telemedicine station was installed in the ISMETT
Outpatient Clinic.
