Topics discussed among members of this group include :

  • Collaborative Technologies : Telemedicine, Teleradiology, Telepathology, Telediagnostics, Picture Archiving, Communication Systems.
  • Networks & Networking : Information Networks & Networking in Rural Clinics, Medical applicaions interoperability. Networks linking hospitals, medical schools, medical researchers for sharing data
  • Virtual Reality in Medicine : Telepresence Surgery, Medical Education, Surgical Simulations, Medical Visualisation
  • Emerging technologies in Medicine : broadband networks such as ATM & SONET, Video-Conferencing
  • Education : Connectivity to Medical Libraries & Medical Professionals

What are the benefits of joining this group?
