This website is the portal of the Ambassador Platform for e-Health in Inaccessible Regions (eHIR) of ESA’s Integrated Applications Promotion (IAP) Programme. It is hosted by The Norwegian Centre for Integrated Care and Telemedicine.
The objective of this Ambassador Platform, managed by The Norwegian Centre for Integrated Care and Telemedicine is to assist the IAP programme in spreading awareness among stakeholders, along the value chain of potential services in the domain of e-Health in inaccessible regions.
Two related themes of this multifaceted domain are embraced by this ambassador platform:
Telemedicine support
Telemedicine support, in this context, provides healthcare services across geographic barriers where distance is a critical factor, enabling exchange of information for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and injuries. In regions with limited infrastructure, space assets can play an important role for realizing such services, whether for day-to-day healthcare or for emergencies.
eLearning
eLearning, in this context, is remote learning, development, and competence monitoring for healthcare professionals and health workers in general.
