The Data Connectivity Solution
In many
developing nations, healthcare is typically provided through many rural
district health offices, which may or may not have data connectivity to
other health centers in the area. The capability of exchanging data
between central health facilities and remote field offices is
critically important to providing quality patient care via:
* Interaction among healthcare professional to solve day-to-day problems
* Retrieval and transfer of patient medical records
* Remote treatment/diagnosis
* Emergency and outbreak warning
* Professional training and resource development
The IEEE Data Connectivity group follows an ICT4D approach to provide data connectivity to such remote areas. We focus on people and utilize appropriate technology to solve social problems.
