The Cutting Edge of Medical Technology Content, Community & Collaboration

Colleagues,

The ATA annual meeting started yesterday, here in San Antonio, Texas ...  Here is a quick update on some of the happenings ...

... The  US Army Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) held their annual Army Telemedicine Partnership Meeting. The theme of this year’s meeting was “Mobile Health (mHealth): The Use of Cell Phones for Healthcare." The event explored the use of cell phones as tools for public health outreach medical surveillance and research, remote medical diagnostics, training and education. Fifteen distinguished speakers from the military, government, academia and the private sector shared their perspectives in this new and exciting area of telemedicine.

UC Davis Health System coordinated a Telemedicine 101 Certificate Course, providing a high level introduction to telemedicine and telehealth. This was our largest 101 course ever, with over 150 attendees!

Several other organizations held pre-conference meetings. The Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) Rural Health Care P..., Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (OAT) and Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) all met Saturday...

The full ATA 2010 Meeting and Exposition begins today... The exhibit hall—the largest ever—opens at 5:30pm...  With the implementation of the HITECH Act, Healthcare Reform legislation and the emergence of new technologies, this portends to be an high impact meeting ...
