NEST in India

NEST- "Network for Integrated Systems in Telemedicine" will exhibit its products and developments for the first time in Mumbai at HOSPIMedica from March 14th to 16th 2008. The HOSPIMedica exhibition is the region's most important event for healthcare manufacturers, wholesalers, dealers and distributors. NEST will present its telemedical solutions for a better emergency care, be it on board of an airplane or within inaccessible areas, with less medical care centres. Ywes Israel, network manager of NEST, will inform visitors about the recent developments and projects. One of the projects is “StrokeNet” - a telemedicine system, which allows by transmitting vitality functions (e.g. ECG), monitoring data, picture and sound between mobile intensive care units and a hospital with a specialised stroke unit, currently five ambulance cars in Berlin are equipped with this system and some pilot data on acceptance and performance improvements is collected. In addition the ALSmanager is presented. ALSmanager is designed to support each member in a patient support chain.
Data of patients with chronic diseases are stored in a web-based database application. All necessary patient parameters can be defined to get a complete patient profile. All data are continued in each patient visit. Important data can also be imported from homecare devices on a regular basis. The respective data upload can be defined for each patient individually by the treating physician. Preconditions are a local PC, internet access and homecare devices need to be able to transfer relevant patient data via USB-port.
Patients, monitored by ALSmanager can easily be recruited and transferred to ALSstudy or ALScare, two professional modules to design and execute pharmaceutical or care based studies. All patient related data, like medication history or course of disease can be included to study based or cross studies analyses.
Both projects were developed and implemented from NEST partners. NEST is looking forward to establishing business contacts with representatives of Indias innovative telemedicine centres, hospitals, ambulance car providers and physicians.
