ALSmanager

The project ALSmanager aims at the development of an internet platform, which allows observed pharmaceutical studies on the basis of telemedicine support for patients suffering on Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in domestic surrounding or while travelling.

Within the scope of the project StrokeNet a telemedicine system will be developed, which allows by transmitting vitality functions, monitoring data, picture and sound between mobile intensive care units and a hospital with a specialised stroke unit, to use expertise of stroke specialists for the immediate treatment.

SQUIN e-therapy for smoking cessation

SQUIN is an innovative online and smartphone-based e-therapy for smoking cessation in the form of a social community with the help of innovations from the gaming area in the sense of Serious Gaming.

Standardisation

In projects with more than one hospital the lack of interoperability of systems and of software was identified as one of the central problems. To solve this problem standards, such as HL7 and DICOM have already been developed. The focus of these standards is mainly the transfer of image and patient data, whereas the control of monitoring devices from a distance, is still limited and only possible with proprietary systems of individual manufacturers. Therefore NEST formed a standardization group that aims to define a telemedicine standard called TM7.

Tele Care System

Best possible medical care aboard an aircraft via satellite or pico-cell: Tele Care System transmits vital parameters of the air passenger to the expert on ground and enables synchronously communication per video conference. The flight attendant performs diagnostic and therapeutic measures with the instructions of this expert. TCS has been successfully tested.
