VEMH - Virtual Euro-Mediterranean Hospital for Global Healthcare.

The Virtual Euro-Mediterranean Hospital (VEMH) aims to facilitate the interconnection of various medical services through real integration. VEMH will provide an integrated satellite-terrestrial platform and realize telemedical services such as e-learning, real-time telemedicine and medical assistance and offer individual grants to young medical doctors. The methodologies of the VEMH are medical-need-oriented instead of technology-oriented. VEMH will provide for medical professionals in the whole Euro-Mediterranean area access to the required quality of medical service. For the successful deployment of the services of the VEMH GRID technologies have to be implemented especially for evidence-based medicine. A Metagrid Service Engine implements an additional software layer between proprietary GRID engines and the different applications. The use of mobile code is envisioned in future GRIDs which allows service creation and deployment on arbitrary nodes of a GRID. Dynamic Grid structures become an important point for the use of mobile code.

Interactive telemedicine in the operating theatre of the future.

An experimental stereoscopic system has been established in the Robert-Rössle-Klinik, including four operating theatres and the surgical research unit OP 2000. The system allows local three-dimensional image acquisition, local stereoscopic video display, in-house stereoscopic video transmission and stereoscopic links to external partners. The goal is to make high-quality patient data available in a medical centre or over a collaborative network of medical experts. In future the requirements of teleconsultation in terms of image quality and bandwidth will be heterogeneous. A sophisticated medical telecommunication system for second opinions is needed that can take advantage of intelligent compression approaches (e.g. wavelet compression) to archive, to search for image content and to transmit medical data such as images.

[Teleconference and telesurgery].

Interchange of information has become possible independent of the user's place or time by modern telemedical services and opens up new dimensions for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. For teleconferences and teleconsultations in surgery, the intraoperative high-quality transmission of live images is essential without disturbing the sterility and operation routine. The clinical specifications require special systems for broadband, stereoscopic online image transmission both intra- and inter-institutionally. Moreover, a telemedical concept integrates the communication equipment suitable for the different diagnostic and functional facilities of a clinic, a digital multimedia patient record and modules for cooperative working. These implementations are a prerequisite for extensive telesurgical interventions using navigational tools, guided instruments or autonomous roboter systems. The realization of such a comprehensive telesurgical concept (OP 2000) is presented.
