Medical remote observational and diagnostic telemonitoring (MedROAD)

The MedROAD project aims at providing most of the fundamental diagnostic tests normally available in large hospitals in a completely mobile platform, making them available to rural communities and remote populations where access to medical clinics is difficult and sometimes impossible. In the proposed system, clinical information is made available to remote physicians via access to a secure web server specifically designed for medical information storage and analysis. This system is designed to help medical professionals with low levels of experience in the operations of any of the available tests, to perform them accurately and efficiently so that a remote physician may provide expert opinion on diagnosis and treatment options. One of the main goals of this project is to determine if patients using MedROAD can benefit from short and long-term improvements in health outcomes, and develop a stronger satisfaction from this health service.
