Project Objective: This project focuses on the medical and technical aspects of Telemedicine Applications which optimize the Quality of Care and Cost Benefits for the monitoring and management of patients in remote places (e.g. in home, health centre/small hospital or primary care sites). THE PILOT PHASE will involve the specification and implementation of limited demonstrators and the study, using agreed criteria, of the differing applications where telemedicine can be most relevant.
