The South Asia tsunami left behind physical and psychological
trauma amongst its victims. People in Nagapattinam are yet to
live down their traumatic experience after the Tsunami struck
this coastal district of South India. TeleVital and I-LINX have
teamed to offer a remote medical diagnostics solution,
connecting rural health care providers to specialty hospitals,
enabling real-time diagnostics even in areas with no established
telecommunication infrastructure. This solution will provide
health care organizations and NGOs with the tools needed to
bring special medical attention anywhere in the world.
In partnership with the Rescue Foundation, India based medical
NGO, St. Stephen's Hospital in New Delhi, I-LINX, and TeleVital
have conducted a live demonstration project of a remote medical
diagnostics solution via the Regional Broadband Global Area
Network (R-BGAN) portable satellite modem. The event linked the
New Delhi audience with the Society for International
Development (SIDW) Health and Nutrition Workgroup in Washington,
D.C. at the offices of the International Resources Group (IRG).
