Enabling better care through sustainable
satellite-based Telemedicine Solutions
Healthw are Symposium
with live demonstrations
5 th March 2008
Main Focal Symposium location: Thales Alenia Space in Cannes, France
Healthcare today makes extensive use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and
wide-area networks are used to exchange medical reports and images. Thus care can be extended
to mobile patients and to the patient's homes by using telemonitoring and teleconferencing facilities.
Real-time teleconsulting, remote diagnosis, clinical data transmission and multimedia medical
content are particularly needed when the access to medical services is difficult like in geographically
isolated or distant locations. Also medical training and the further education of health professionals
benefit from real-time transmission of medical interventions and results like histology images.
The Integrated Project “Standard and Interoperable satellite solution to deploy HEALTH
care services over Wide AREa” (HEALTHWARE) has thoroughly validated the usefulness
of a light and cost effective satellite technology (DVB-RCS) in geographic areas without
sufficient terrestrial telecommunication capacities for interactive telehealth services.
HEALTHWARE invites you cordially to a Multisite and Demonstration event. The
primary workshop site is located at Thales Alenia Space premises in Cannes, France.

The workshop will showcase the most successful pilot applications within the project and
thereby connect telemedicine user communities across Europe.
Teleconsultation and remote expertise demonstrations will be run together with our project
partners at hospitals and universities in Cyprus, France, Poland and the United Kingdom. The
selected scenarios and practical examples will highlight the state of the art of deploying
satellite telecommunications in support of healthcare and medical teaching.
