The software will enable primary health workers to submit data online and receive instant feedback. Other projects describe remote access to medical information and feedback in rural areas, and tools developed for online diagnosis.Item Pan Arctic Collaborative for eHealth Research?(Global eHealth Research and Training Program, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, CA, 2009) Scott, Richard E.; Khoja, Shariq; Durrani, HammadPlaced in the context of the relevance of ehealth to the Arctic, and research into ehealth adoption and application, as well as the evidence of sparse publication of ehealth activities in the circumpolar region, an approach focusing on a pan-Arctic collaborative for ehealth research in the north could prove valuable. The report describes development of PANACeA (Pan Asian Collaborative for evidence-based ehealth Adoption and Application) and some of the challenges and successes experienced in applying the research network model. It concludes by speculating on the potential advantages a networked ehealth research approach might have for the northern circumpolar region.Item Evaluation of an information communication technology pilot in support of public health in South Asia : real-time biosurveillance program; final technical report(International Development Research Center, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2010) Waidyanatha, Nuwan T.This report is a comprehensive review of the Real-Time Biosurveillance Program (RTBP), which was a multi-partner initiative to study the potential for new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) towards improvement of early detection and notification of disease outbreaks in selected regions of Sri Lanka and India. Appendices include mHealth software use and specifications, standard operating procedures, as well as guides for implementation, loading of datasets, and a how-to for messaging systems. New ICTs are an important means for improved disease detection and notification via digital capacity enhanced gathering, analyzing, and reporting on data from multiple locations.Item Pan-Arctic collaborative for eHealth : need, value, lessons(PAN Asian Collaboration for Evidence-based eHealth Adoption and Application (PANACeA), Karachi, PK, 2009) Scott, R.E.; Khoja, S.; Durrani, H.This one-pager advocates for a networked research approach modelled on the PAN Asian Collaboration for Evidence-based e-Health Adoption and Application (PANACeA), that focuses on eHealth implementation in the Arctic. The benefits of networked research activities include a broader sharing of knowledge, increased scope for research activities, greater capacity building, and administrative resilience. Yet no Arctic focused eHealth research network exists. As well, the International Journal of Circumpolar Health shows only sporadic and low ehealth publication.Item Pan-Arctic collaborative for eHealth : need, value, lessons(Health Innovation & Information Technology Centre, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, CA, 2009) Scott, Richard E.; Khoja, Shariq; Durrani, HammadThe presentation outlines some initiatives taken under the umbrella of the PAN Asian Collaboration for Evidence-based e-Health Adoption and Application (PANACeA), its history, challenges and successes. It introduces the idea of building a similar Pan-Arctic body towards circumpolar health, using e-Health models. The creation of a Pan-Arctic Collaboration for eHealth / Research (PACeR) would be a first step in identifying, designing, and implementing ‘technologically appropriate and culturally sensitive’ approaches.Item Terminal report, 31 January 2004 - 31 December 2008 / Learning from Information and Communications Technology for Development (ICT4D) Research to Enhance Policymaking (Philippines)(Philippines.
