GALENOS - generic advanced low-cost trans-European network over satellite-in the operating room of the future: OP 2000

摘要

Modern video-, communication- and computer-technologies have enabled the realization of extended competence networks, which allow physicians, although distributed over several different locations, to work in a collaborative way. In the GALENOS project a generic interactive broadband satellite network has been established with a unified and low-cost technology. Using the WinVicos communication software, a variety of telemedical applications have been realized in the network, that currently connects 14 sites in six countries. The new possibilities that this distributed medical intelligence enables, will contribute to a continuous improvement in treatment and care of patients.
