Integrated teleassistance platform with enhanced accessibility to information - TELEASIS

The diversification of telecommunication networks and advances in communication technologies, including the Internet, has considerable potential as an environment supporting telemedicine applications. Within eRomania government programme a special focus is on public and private electronic services development. In this context, National Communication Research Institute - INSCC is coordinating a Romanian telemedicine project called Complex System on NGN support offering Home Telecare Services for Elders - TELEASIS. This paper presents the integrated teleassistance platform - TELEASIS, as a support for implementation and development of homecare electronic integrated services, allowing teleassistance of elder people, at their residence, with a medical and as well, a social target. The presentation includes the context, issues regarding project management, hardware and software platforms, devices, future developments for patient empowerment, and patients/clients benefits.
