The Health Telematics Unit was a multi-disciplinary team of clinicians, researchers, educators, learners, students, and partners who fostered and encouraged innovative quality research, evaluation, consultation, teaching, and service in the area of telehealth. This was the first program of its kind in Canada to combine a research program, using the latest advances in telehealth research and evaluation, with a training program.

TMA Bridge: Laying the Foundation for Citizen Centred eHealth
(Presented at Med-e-tel 2005 in Luxembourg., 2005-04-06) Kass, James
Trans-National Interoperability in eHealth: Facing the Challenges and Overcoming the Barriers: Presents a coherent picture of interoperability in eHealth, with examples across the various types of services, and analyses of the challenges and roadblocks to eHealth implementation, identifying the gaps, and concretely recommending the way ahead. Our approach will be trans-national because our aim is that the various systems now being developed in the different countries and regions can communicate with each other; so that the solutions offered will also have a broad trans-national market for applications; that the European citizen, patient, health practicianer may receive and provide services across national borders. The presentations will link the broad topics such as technical standards and semantics with certification, accreditation, organisation, reimbursement and even cultural differences. The underlying philosophy is that unless the problems are viewed holistically and the approaches coordinated openly and trans-nationally, there will be little progress in this exciting and challenging arena.

DICOEMS: A Diagnosis Collaborative Environment for Medical Relevant Situations
(Presented at Med-e-tel 2005 Conference in Luxembourg., 2005-04-06) Marzollo, Beatrice
DICOEMS aims to deliver an eHealth platform that acquires and transfers critical information from the place where a medical emergency occurs to remotely located health specialists for immediate assistance. The system instantiates a portable collaboration environment that brings together the onthe- spot care provider and a network of experts, thus enabling more effective decision support and risk management in primary diagnosis, pre-transfer arrangements and treatment of critical situations.

DOC@HAND: Knowledge Sharing and Decision Support for Healthcare Professionals
(Presented at Med-e-tel 2005 Conference in Luxembourg., 2005-04-06) Sammartino, L.
In a scenario where the Healthcare industry tends to rapid decentralization, with multiple actors involved in the care delivery processes, the importance for professionals to collaborate, access and share data and knowledge becomes more and more stringent. The aim Doc@Hand is to support Healthcare professionals in this changing environment, by providing a set of IT tools that help reducing the time and associated costs to collect the information and knowledge required, and, more crucially, in making the best use of it for a more informed decision making (diagnoses, therapies, protocols).

ARTEMIS: A Semantic Web Service-Bases P2P Infrastructure for the Interoperability of Medical Information Systems
(Presented at Med-e-tel 2005 Conference in Luxembourg., 2005-04-06) Dogac, A.; Laleci, G.; Kabak, Y.; Bicer, V.; Unal, S.; Gulderen, O.
This presentation will describe the architecture of the Artemis project, which exploits ontologies based on the domain knowledge exposed by the healthcare information standards through standard bodies like HL7, CEN TC251, ISO TC215 and GEHR. We use these standards for two purposes: first to describe the Web service functionality semantics, that is, the meaning associated with what a Web service does and secondly to describe the meaning associated with the messages or documents exchanged through Web services.

Supporting Health-ICT Projects using Handheld Technology
(Presented at Med-e-tel 2005 Conference in Luxembourg., 2005-04-06) Boucher, P.
eHealth Home Care Applications: There are currently many areas where basic telecommunications and power infrastructure is available; however, this infrastructure is insufficient to properly support a complete information and communications technology (ICT) environment. The use of cheap mobile handheld devices such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and Smart Phones can provide many of the benefits of ICT to these areas. This type of device has already been successfully used to provide data collection services, improved health care delivery by monitoring sets of patients and providing knowledge management by providing decision making support and making large amounts of reference materials easily available.

eHealth Home Care Applications: The Call Center could be a bridge between family Doctor and Patient or between this last and the healthcare structure of which he can have need. The Call Center is a new protagonist , according to a technical point of view it could be defined as a tool or an operating system to connect principal subjects: Patients, Doctors, Hospitals and outpatient services.
