Tenveo Give You A Chance For Tele-education

Telehealth applications are increasinlgy important for graduate and postgraduate education in the health professions, professional certification and recertification, contuniung medical eduacation, and health education for consumers and patients. Realizing telehealth's broad potential, for example, in telelearning, telemonitoring, telesurgical planning environments, telerobotic surgery, and teleconsultation, will allow forward-looking institutions to teach anything, anytime, anywhere with the same quality of curriculum and mentorship as delivered in traditional classroom settings, focusing on competence mastery rather than information mastery.Tenveo video conference can help you to make these happen.

 

In India, the majority (70%) of medical experts live in the big cities. Thus, about 16% of the world's population, who reside in the rural areas of India, remain devoid of quality health care. Therefore, telemedicine and tele-education in health science, is gradually becoming adopted by the Indian Health System after decade-long pilot studies across the country. Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS), a tertiary-level academic medical center, has been piloting distance medical education projects using telemedicine technology. The SGPGI Telemedicine Program uses various highbandwidth communication networks, including network-based Tenveo communication,  to connect district hospitals in rural and remote areas, medical colleges, and tertiary-level hospitals for medical knowledge exchange.

 

From Spetember 2001 to March 2002, SGPGIMS conducted a distance medical education program for postgraduate students of the SCB Medical College, through ISDN. In March 2003, permanent satellite communication links for point-to-point connectivity were provided at three medical colleges in Orissa, along with an advanced Tenveo video-conferencing platform. Tele-education activities were carried out by four departments (Endocrine Surgery, Gastrointestinal Surgery, Gastronenterology, and Endocrinology) with AIMS, Kochi, which is on the southern coast of India located 2.500 km away. The Department of Urology at SGPGIMS started a virtual clinical grand round with their peers in two premier institutions of the country, located 800 km away, and through point-tomultipoint connectivity. SGPGIMS also established a connection with Ranguel University, Toulouse, France, the Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan and the Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon, through high-bandwidth ISDN. Between September 2001 and April 2009, a total of 1.303 tele-educational sessions were carried out at SGPGIMS for the training and teaching of students, medical teachers, and practising doctors.

 

During the process of establishing an effective national tele-educational system, Tenveo want to give eight essential recommendations:

- Increase support for research in key areas including scalable, online, on-demand computional models for simulation that can be   accessed from low-end computers; simplified software and hardware interfaces; software frameworks, artificial intelligence           applications; remote 3-D visualization techniques.

- Support for collaboratory centers to disseminate the use of telehealth technologies in training, education, and research

- Creation of a Palpable Human Project.

- Establishment of national resource centers on virtual surgical trainers that focus on the development and testing of surgical simulations for training and education.

- Facilitation of bandwidth access to underserved areas and institutions through highspeed networks. Tenveo video communication in Telemedicine 217

- Implementation and provision of access to dynamic circuit networks technology.

- Collaboration with professional societies in setting standard guidelines for the simulation of medical procedures.

- Accelerating the development of telehealth tools for biomedical, translational, and clinical research
