How can tech make medical support possible?
TSF Providing Connectivity for Medical Support in Syria
TSF has been supporting civilians affected by the war in Syria for 11 years. In the medical facilities of the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (UOSSM), reliable connectivity provided by TSF supports daily activities from teleconsultations to logistics and coordination.
When the earthquake struck, the White Helmets organization also needed emergency communications to connect their headquarters and mobile dispatchers, who could in turn send ambulances to those in need. TSF therefore provided mobile terminals and extended its support to three new UOSSM medical facilities.
Earth Observation to Detect Viruses
Conditions that allow the transmission of some viruses, like stagnant water for diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, are extremely demanding to monitor on the field. Earth Observation data, obtainable by satellite imagery, is helpful to monitor these conditions, frequently and on a global scale.
Using Tech to Further Medical Research
Electronic health records (EHR) should make it possible to gather millions of patients’ records and, by doing so, detect patterns in diseases and possible treatments. However, a lot of EHR isn’t accurate or usable. It also raises questions of data protection.
