The international Health, Telemedicine and Health ICT Forum for Education, Networking and Business. An event of the Society for Telemedicine & eHealth (ISfTeH)

“ The ISfTeH exists to facilitate the international dissemination of knowledge and experience in Telemedicine and eHealth, to provide access to recognized experts in the field worldwide, and to offer unprecedented networking opportunities. Med-e-Tel is one of the instruments that help the ISfTeH to realize this mission.

Med-e-Tel 2015 will be held in conjunction with the IHE-Europe Connectathon 2015, IHE’s annual connectivity test marathon where health IT companies test the interoperability of their products against multiple vendors‘ systems. They perform these tests using real world clinical scenarios following IHE Integration Profile specifications across a variety of domains (radiology, cardiology, pharmacy, pathology, patient care devices, patient care coordination, laboratory, …).

Med-e-Tel focuses on eHealth and telemedicine applications and a wide range of other medical ICT applications and on the convergence of information and communication technology with medical applications, which lead to higher quality of care, cost reductions, workflow efficiency, and widespread availability of healthcare services.

The „Med“ in Med-e-Tel stands for healthcare services (institutional and home based care, prevention and education) and for medical products and equipment (medical imaging equipment, monitoring devices, electronic health records, etc.).
The „e“ stands for the electronic and IT industry and services (hard- & software, apps, etc.).
The „Tel“ stands for telecommunications (mobile, satellite, videoconferencing technology, etc.).“ (Beschreibung der Veranstalter)
