NEST Invites Russian and German Healthcare/Telemedicine Experts

The Network for Integrated Systems in Telemedicine (NEST)The Network for Integrated Systems in Telemedicine (NEST) invites Russian and German healthcare/telemedicine experts from 14th to 16th April, 2008 (Moscow) for a workshop combining lectures and dialogues between representatives of the Charité University Medicine Berlin and the Russian Medical State University. The main workshop objectives are to provide a platform for knowledge sharing and to intensify the scientific exchange in the field of telemedicine research between Russia and Germany.

Russian partner of the workshop is Professor Veronika I. Skvortsova, MD, Head of Neurology & Neurosurgery Clinic with Department of Fundamental Neurology and General Director of the Stroke Institute at Russian State Medical University, Vice-President of the National Stroke Association of the Russian Federation (NABI). Prof. Skvortsova and the invited experts will discuss and explore the latest NEST telemedical achievements and solutions applied to the neurological domain.

Prof. Thomas Meyer, director of the Charité clinic for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and other motoneural diseases will highlight the NEST ALSmanager project focused on home care treatment for patients with ALS. This project aims to establish a web based platform, which enables clinical studies, telemedical monitoring and treatment of the patients with ALS.

ALSmanager is designed to support each member in a patient support chain. All necessary patient parameters may be defined for the specific patient’s needs which allow the creation of the flexible profiles. Important data could also be imported from other homecare devices. The respective data upload could be individually defined for patients by the treating physician. Preconditions are the local PC, Internet access and specialised homecare devices able to transfer relevant patient data via the USB-port.

Additionally, the patient's data, collected by ALSmanager, could be easily imported, transferred to the ALSstudy or ALScare, two additional modules which enable design and execution of the clinical trial studies.
