NThC Holds DOST Telemedicine Workshop

15 May 2008 - The National Telehealth Center held a coordination workshop for the DOST Telemedicine Project at the Robbinsdale Hotel, Quezon City. The aim of the said workshop was to engage with the UP Diliman partners/programmers for the ECCS (Emergency Care Coordinating System) component and establish the expected services that the NThC will offer. In attendance were Dr. Alvin Marcelo and the entire NThC staff, Prof. Rommel Feria from the Department of Computer Science, UP Diliman Vice-Chancellor Luis Sison of the RxBox Team, Dr. Paulo Pagkatipunan and Dr. Lynn Panganiban of UP-PGH as Domain Experts. The team was able to agree on the various issues raised during the workshop, particularly, the use of SMS in the telereferral system, the need for voice patch in emergency cases, the role of the RxBox in the ECCS, and the possible software applications that need to be developed for the entire program.
