Telemedicine for remote Operations in Distant areas

The aim of the T4MOD project was to develop and validate a user-friendly telemedicine system capable of supporting different medical specialities, through an interoperable IP overlay satellite network associated to an intelligent end-to-end communication service. This solution, to be validated in a military environment, could be also extended for future exploitations in civilian field for organisations (for example national health systems) operating in underserved and/or geographically isolated areas, such as in case of natural disasters or humanitarian crises. The system was instrumental in developing new medical protocols for a cooperative medical work of diagnosis and therapies. T4MOD involved the health department of four Ministries of Defence in France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
