“…3 The peer-review process is obvious for the paper addressing telemedicine in Poland published in 1995. 6 The number of articles published per year fluctuated from 0 to 16, with an overall increasing trend (Fig. 2).…”

“…Our analysis revealed that video conferences and imaging data transmission via satellite between Polish and German clinicians from departments of radiology in Berlin and Wrocław opened the new age of telemedicine implementations in Poland in 1995. 6 Since then, the Internet and other telecommunications-based systems have become important sources of health-related information that have started to supplement conventional health services across Europe. 7,8 Research conducted in Poland and other countries clearly shows that the interest in telemedicine is growing.…”

“…11,[50][51][52] Papers on distance learning have been presented since 1995, initially as live broadcasts over satellite, then moving to Internet-based applications. 6 Later studies have addressed many more aspects of e-learning, including barriers, virtual environments and the use of resources, such as virtual patient modules and grid medical libraries. 14,53,54 It is not possible to directly relate the trends observed in Poland to what has been happening in other countries.…”

The aim of this study is to present a review based on the literature and proceedings from selected telemedicine conferences. The review was developed using the PRISMA framework. The Embase and PubMed (updated until July 13, 2015) literature databases were searched for telemedicine-related terms and Poland. The literature search identified 129 eligible articles in the databases and 85 in conference proceedings until July 2015. Articles measured as a number of contributions per year presented a similar rising, fluctuating and almost parallel pattern. Fifty-nine percent of the reviewed papers were published in impacted journals. Almost half of all publications presented original papers. The published articles concerned mostly cardiology (16%), family medicine (15%) and pathology (11%). Conference proceedings papers concerned orthopedics (29%, significantly more frequent; p < 0.001) and cardiology (14%). Scientific activity of researchers and practitioners in Poland in the field of telemedicine is not high, but it is increasing over time. There is a tendency to present the research rather in high-quality journals instead of conferences before publication. The occurrence of individual medical specialty telemedicine in Poland may reflect country-specific needs.

“…As the field of telemedicine is both broadly defined and applied, as well as having fluid borders with tele-education and health-on-the-go, further sources were found in this search that do not fall under the broader categories discussed above [310,312,313,319,320,323,324,328,329,[333][334][335]338,339,341,342,344,[347][348][349][350]354,357,358,360,362,363,365,369,370,375,377,379,380,382,385,388,389,412,391,392,394,452,395,398].…”

BACKGROUND Space technology has an impact on many domains of activity on earth, including in the field of global health. With the recent adoption of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals that highlight the need for strengthening partnerships in different domains, it is useful to better characterize the relationship between space technology and global health. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the applications of space technologies to global health, the key stakeholders in the field, as well as gaps and challenges. METHODS We used a scoping review methodology, including a literature review and the involvement of stakeholders, via a brief self-administered, open-response questionnaire. A distinct search on several search engines was conducted for each of the four key technological domains that were previously identified by the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs’ Expert Group on Space and Global Health (Domain A: remote sensing; Domain B: global navigation satellite systems; Domain C: satellite communication; and Domain D: human space flight). Themes in which space technologies are of benefit to global health were extracted. Key stakeholders, as well as gaps, challenges, and perspectives were identified. RESULTS A total of 222 sources were included for Domain A, 82 sources for Domain B, 144 sources for Domain C, and 31 sources for Domain D. A total of 3 questionnaires out of 16 sent were answered. Global navigation satellite systems and geographic information systems are used for the study and forecasting of communicable and noncommunicable diseases; satellite communication and global navigation satellite systems for disaster response; satellite communication for telemedicine and tele-education; and global navigation satellite systems for autonomy improvement, access to health care, as well as for safe and efficient transportation. Various health research and technologies developed for inhabited space flights have been adapted for terrestrial use. CONCLUSIONS Although numerous examples of space technology applications to global health exist, improved awareness, training, and collaboration of the research community is needed.

“…Recent technical developments are image transmission protocols that allow the ability to alter the window and level settings of radiological images (e. g. CT and MR images) over the Internet while maintaining short transmission times [7,19,24,45,50]. Thus, teleradiology/telemedicine will be a powerful tool in optimizing diagnosis as well as in providing accurate treatment and patient care.…”

World Wide Web and Internet: applications for radiologists

Global exchange of information is one of the major sources of scientific progress in medicine. For management of the rapidly growing body of medical information, computers and their applications have become an indispensable scientific tool. Approximately 36 million computer users are part of a worldwide network called the Internet or "information highway" and have created a new infrastructure to promote rapid and efficient access to medical, and thus also to radiological, information. With the establishment of the World Wide Web (WWW) by a consortium of computer users who used a standardized, nonproprietary syntax termed HyperText Markup Language (HTML) for composing documents, it has become possible to provide interactive multimedia presentations to a wide audience. The extensive use of images in radiology makes education, worldwide consultation (review) and scientific presentation via the Internet a major beneficiary of this technical development. This is possible, since both information (text) as well as medical images can be transported via the Internet. Presently, the Internet offers an extensive database for radiologists. Since many radiologists and physicians have to be considered "Internet novices" and, hence, cannot yet avail themselves of the broad spectrum of the Internet, the aim of this article is to present a general introduction to the WWW/Internet and its applications for radiologists. All Internet sites mentioned in this article can be found at the following Internet address: http://www.univie.ac. at/radio/radio.html (Department of Radiology, University of Vienna)
