Globally active satellite-based competence network, optimizing medical care of tourists and business travellers

Western societies are becoming increasingly mobile. Every year a rising number of people visit foreign countries for private or business reasons. The objective of the TEMOS project is to establish a globally active satellite-based competence network, which optimises medical care of tourists and business travellers in the mobile society. This network will be open for all interested hospitals and medical institutions, such as general practitioners or assistance companies who agree to accept and apply the TEMOS quality criteria as developed within the framework of the project. By means of different approaches such as tele-education, tele-consultation, telemedicine services, exchange of knowledge and an evaluation system, a high quality of medical care for travellers abroad shall be realised.
