The project is being really successful and with a big impact and more ideas are developed. From few months ago GlobalStroke has been launched. Globalstroke is an international collaboration network for stroke specialists. 

Telemedicine for Stroke is really a growing functionality, the benefits and impact are clear. It has also been one of the Case studies prensented by OCDE titled Achieving Efficiency Improvements in the Health Sector through the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies. OCDE (ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT) is a unique forum where the governments of 30 democracies work together to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation

The Case Study has been implemnted by the Balearic Islands Health Service. The Balearic health authority (Ib-Salut) has implemented a telestroke programme which has made emergency stroke care available to the far corners of the Balearic Islands. Providing access to life saving care which was previously unavailable [tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)] within the first three hours after onset of symptoms can effectively reduce the risk of death and severe disability).

We have also experience in some other recognised Telestroke projects like the one implemented in Catalonia.

In the next link, you can see an interesting video about Telestroke program at Mayo Clinic. You can also see one fast screen about GlobalStroke innitiative who is also commented at the end of the video:

Moreover, the website incorporates some innovative functionalities by integrating some Medting “connectors”.

Last Clinical Case

The last clinical case published from a SERAM member is shown in the home page of Seram. This component allows to have a more dinamic home page by providing updated and clinical content to the users.

 Problem Case for Medical Education

 One of the most remarkable functionalities from the website is the Problem Case. SERAM published a clinical case into Medting that also is printed in the monthly scientific magazine. All SERAM members are invited to provide a diagnostic to the case. The ones providing a correct diagnosis get some credits for SERAM. All the workflow is managed bu Medting and integrated into the SERAM website as a connector.

Some other connectors are now being integrated like the possibility for each member to create his/her own images Atlas.

By the renovation of the website, SERAM consolidates it’s position as the reference website for all spanish radiologists and mostly from south america.

Medting will be present in the Health 2.0 conference taken place in Paris next april 6th and 7th. We will be in session Physicians and Online Communities presenting our platform with some other colleagues and innitiatives like:

An article in Informilo, a prestigious has been published recently by Jennifer L. Schenker. She has been covering technology outside the U.S for 23 years, most recently for BusinessWeek. She has also worked full-time for the Wall Street Journal Europe, Time Magazine, International Herald Tribune and Red Herring.

Informilo is a news site that covers tech sector developments in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and the Americas. The site covers entrepreneurship and innovation in every part of the pipeline - from the smallest start-up with the best idea to big companies that embrace creative disruption. The aim is to help start-ups and venture capitalists benchmark the global competition and connect with big corporates.

The project is the early stages but seems will bring interesting outcomes in terms of content sharing and medical education by using new technologies.

We are interested in finding out some of your preferences and ideas when you attempt to search for medical educational material and under what conditions you may share your own educational material with others.

Please help us to indetify your needs and functional requirements for content sharing by filling the questionnaire.

To access the survey online go to http://kedip.med.auth.gr/survey/index.html

Thanks for your participation

He also presented some results and demo about the First International Telestroke Network, between Mayo Clinic and H. Due Grace Hospital in Canada. The Ministry of Health in Spain was very interested in supporting the network.

The iSA project will establish a collaborative model where doctors can provide second opinion to improve quality of care

This is an EU funded Project and an EU-funded international support action that seeks to provide Web-based diagnostic and therapeutic support in infectious diseases and children/adult oncology, to hospitals located in emerging communities of Africa and South America.

The iSA cooperation network is led by health professionals from Son Dureta hospital (Malllorca, Spain) in collaboration with doctors of Vall d’Hebron, Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona and the Instituto Valenciano de Oncología (Spain).

iSA has been designed to provide clinical support for infectious diseases and for children/adult oncology cases. One of the main goals of the 30-month project is to set up a second opinion platform that enables remote doctors to share medical content around a patient and improve the diagnostic quality.

The iSA website uses MEDTING to communicate among doctors from different sites and as a platform to exchange medical images and clinical cases. Mobile access to information is also provided for remote areas where no internet connection is possible.

The projects implements Medting Second Opinion

Doctors regularly collaborate with one another on the diagnosis and treatment of complex cases. Leveraging the expertise of colleague physicians gives you the ability to tap into the knowledge of a multidisciplinary group of experts whether inside or outside your own medical facility.

Easily sharing such cases with a worldwide group of physician experts through the internet offers a higher probability of the case being reviewed by a greater number of consultants. This potentially offers better clinical outcomes by enhancing the quality of the clinical service and increasing patient safety.

Furthermore, hospitals can utilize MEDTING to create new business opportunities. Second opinion services, telemedicine or excellence expertise networks can be established by utilizing the web based MEDTING technology.

Medical Pictures, Videos and Cases Exchange

MEDTING is an internet website for collaboration on clinical cases, through a convenient way to upload and share medical images, videos, and associated case information.

Cases can be designated public - shared with all MEDTING users, or private, invited viewers only. As MEDTING provides services only for the purposes noted above, patient identifying data is prohibited from MEDTING uploads and related discussions. Private content is useful for telemedicine and second opinion services.

Private content is useful for telemedicine and second opinion services.

The translation capability facilitates the conversation among physicians who speak different languages.

A group of hospitals can use MEDTING as a telemedicine tool. MEDTING helps healthcare organizations and hospitals share images easily and privately.

Don’t lose the opportunity, meet MEDTING.

Worldwide medical discussion without language and distance barriers can be achieved. Second opinions can be easily run and set up. Visionaries and innovators are already working on it.

COTMES has incorporated MEDTING Enterprise in order to build a powerful Web-based clinical image management platform integrated in the group’s Web site.

With MEDTING every doctor of the committee is able to upload large volumes of clinical images and cases in an automated way. The solution uses MIO (Medical Images Organizer), which automates the capture and upload of images generated by any medical imaging device (including MRI, CT scanners, digital cameras, etc).

The MEDTING Enterprise platform integrated into COTMES website allows doctors to maintain constant communication facilitating the exchange of the clinical cases to be reviewed every week. The system has also opens the possibility to easily share videos and provide second-opinion services to hospitals throughout Spain and beyond.
