Telehealth for every nation, community and home.
As we move into the second decade of the 21st century, many health systems are struggling to find solutions to equitable delivery of quality health care. Telehealth is increasingly looked to as a means of facilitating health care delivery, and the telecommunications revolution of the last few years now makes it possible to consider health care delivery on many
scales, from the home all the way to global initiatives.
In 2010, Australia will host Global Telehealth 2010 (GT2010), the 15th Annual Scientific Meeting of the International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth (ISfTeH). This meeting has become well established as the major international telehealth conference and will come to Australia for the first time in 2010. Concurrently, the meeting will also be the first annual
scientific meeting of the Australasian Telehealth Society, which was founded in 2008.
The conference, to be held in Perth’s unique waterfront community of Fremantle, is expected to attract delegates and speakers from many of the 30 national societies comprising ISfTeH, as well as a large delegation from Australia and New Zealand. Members of telehealth organisations from Asia-Pacific nations should find this meeting particularly attractive. The interdisciplinary nature of the telehealth community attending will ensure wide cross-section of viewpoints. Prominent international speakers will be invited to address the meeting, and papers submitted will be peer-reviewed to maintain the highest standard, with expected publication in a major international journal. The meeting will feature the largest commercial exhibition of telehealth products ever held in Australasia.
Please note that the highly-popular Successes and Failures in Telehealth conference will not be held in 2010; GT2010 will be the only Australasian telehealth conference, and its international status will ensure that it is a landmark conference for practitioners and researchers of telehealth wherever they are located.
We look forward to seeing you in Fremantle in November!
