FP7 ICT CONCERTO (Content and cOntext aware delivery for iNteraCtive multimedia healthcaRe applications) is a STREP project in the EU's Seventh Framework Programme aiming at designing and validating several critical building blocks of telemedicine applications.
These include network-aware applications that rely on content-aware codecs and storage formats, carried over an application-aware network. The ultimate aim of FP7 ICT CONCERTO is to provide high a Quality of Experience (QoE) for medics, which is a necessary condition for providing flawless medical diagnosing of the highest reliability. To reach the above goals, CONCERTO is broken down in 7 work packages, further divided into tasks directly related to the project main objectives.
CONCERTO will achieve this ambitious goal by the joint optimization of several tightly coupled system components, which form an organic ensemble, rather than a simple interconnected conglomerate.

European Commission Brussels, 7 December 2012 eHealth Action Plan 2012-2020: Frequently Asked Questions See also IP/12/1333 What is eHealth?
eHealth means using digital tools and services for health. eHealth covers the interaction between patients and health-service providers, institution-to-institution transmission of data, or peer-to-peer communication between patients and/or health professionals. What are the benefits? Using ICT based tools and systems gives patients more information, and more involvement in their healthcare, they improve access to health advice and treatment and can make national healthcare systems more efficient. For example, the Danish Health Data Network provides fast and efficient communication between patients, general practitioners and social care professionals. In Italy, overall savings from the introduction of ICTs in the Health Sector are estimated to be around 11.7% of national health expenditure (i.e. € 12.4 billion).

RFID and healthcare: a revolutionary friendship - Information Centre - Research & Innovation. Today, smart radio tags, known technically as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), can be used for the storing and remote retrieval of data from, for example, patients, drugs or tissue samples. The integrated electronic circuit in the tag stores information which can be updated whenever necessary – a crucial feature that could revolutionise the information process in hospitals and improve healthcare throughout Europe.
Back in 2003, Dr Daniel Grandt, head of the Internal Medicine Department at the Saarbruecken Clinic in Germany, discovered the potential of RFID to improve the quality of treatments. A prototype was developed, shaped like a watch; using a "reader", a doctor could access patients’ information, e.g., their illness, medical records and current drug treatments. The result: faster treatments and better traceability of prescribed drugs. This process is particularly helpful for doctors who have a large case load of patients. Healthcare Get Started With Twitter. mHealth: Healthcare Goes Mobile| Medical Devices | Industry Press Releases | Media Center | GlobalData. Mobile health (mHealth) solutions that allow patient consultation and monitoring, among other benefits, are surging in popularity as the spread of smartphones and tablets expands, says healthcare industry analysts GlobalData in a new report.
The latest research* states that the global mHealth market was worth $1.2 billion in 2011, but will jump in value to reach $11.8 billion by 2018, climbing at an impressive Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 39%. mHealth involves the use of mobile applications and devices to monitor a patient’s health remotely and is streaking ahead as the fastest growing segment within the telehealth and telemedicine market. GlobalData attributes the substantial predicted growth to the widespread use of mobile phones that allow faster, easier and broader access to healthcare services. The large majority of the mHealth market is taken up by software and services, accounting for 80% of the total.

Even just simple email-like communication is rarely routinely used due to security concerns and regulations. In the United States, HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, mandates how sensitive health information is organized, stored, reviewed and distributed. HipaaCat is a new app for Android and iOS that enables secure, encrypted HIPAA complaint communication of text messages and images through mobile devices. Three versions exist: Chief, Resident and Nurse. The Chief app is for the head of a team and he functions as the administrator of the group. Security and HIPAA compliance is ensured by encryption of all communication between team members. App links: Google Play (resident app), iTunes: Chief, Resident and Nurse apps.

3inShare The FDA has cleared Sotera Wireless‘ ViSi Mobile System that’s designed for monitoring of vital signs of ambulatory patients in non-ICU clinical settings. The wrist-worn device works with a number of sensors that measure blood pressure, heart rate / pulse rate, SpO2, respiratory rate, skin temperature, as well as 3-lead or 5-lead ECG. All the data is sent over a standard (802.11) in-hospital wireless network to a central server for simultaneous real-time monitoring of all the patients on the floor using a computer or a tablet PC. The company promises the next version of the device will provide continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring as well as the patient’s posture and activity levels.
From the product page: In addition to the color touchscreen display on the patient-worn device, desktop PCs, tablet PCs and other mobile platforms can be utilized as remote viewing and notification devices.

With a growing number of physicians adopting tablet PCs for their EMR implementations, EMR vendors and IT manufacturers are looking to build compatible native systems to facilitate user-friendly and efficient EMR execution. From table desktops to thin clients and now the tablet, EMRs have been tried and tested on a variety of hardware, each bringing its own benefits and drawbacks.
However, the striking surge in EMR adoption on tablet PCs has made providers sit up and take notice of this remarkably promising technology. Evolution of Tablets in the EMR Space The tablet technology has found a significant number of users in the healthcare industry. A survey conducted by Manhattan Research reveals that practitioners are leaning largely towards mobile platforms in order to improve the productivity and quality of care, as well as for efficient EMR implementations.

The Role of Telehealth in an Evolving Health Care Environment (report) Report Note: Workshop Summaries contain the opinion of the presenters, but do NOT reflect the conclusions of the IOM. Learn more about the differences between Workshop Summaries and Consensus Reports. Since the 1996 IOM report, Telemedicine: A Guide to Assessing Telecommunications for Health Care, attention to telehealth has continued to grow in both the public and private sectors. Peer-reviewed journals and professional societies are devoted to telehealth, the federal government provides grant funding to promote the use of telehealth, and the private technology industry continues to develop new applications for telehealth. However, barriers remain to the use of telehealth. The IOM held a workshop August 8-9, 2012, to examine how the use of telehealth technology can fit into the U.S. health care system. TeleMedicine/ Care During Medical Emergencies.
17inShare When treating patients paramedics have a variety of issues to take care of that consume precious time. Having patient data readily available can help first responders begin treating the patient sooner and easy sharing of symptoms with the receiving hospital can smooth out the transfer. Using a mobile computer such as a tablet can slow down the response as the paramedic takes his eyes off the patient and works the device. Ikanos Consulting, a Nottinghamshire, UK firm, believes its Golden-i headset (essentially a Motorola HC1) powered by the new Paramedic Pro application can help speed up the initiation of care, share live audio and video, and get all the clinicians involved on the same page.
The headset has a camera and microphone for interacting with applications and to communicate with hospital physicians. The Paramedic Pro software performs voice recognition and allows patient data lookup and entry through voice alone. Product page: Golden-i and Paramedic Pro… Telemedicine. Wearable sensor technology, while popular in the athletics industry, has been an elusive target in terms of medical applicability.
