Healthware project (FP6)
SIP4-CT-2004-516171
Key Elements
Submitted under EC 6th Framework Program (FP6)
In "Aeronautics and Space" thematic priority
Addresses the development of end to end satellite telecommunication systems
for telemedicine applications
Three years project, started on 1 May 2005
Alcatel Alenia Space coordinates a consortium of 19 partners including :
• Industrials
• Satcom operators
• TMD services operators
• Research centres
• Engineering companies
• User associations
• Health Academics

Four steps approach


Specify & design a modular, standard based and interoperable platform
Integrate and validate solutions that will fulfil end-users requirements

Collection and understanding of end-users needs

Solutions design/integration and industrial validation

Validation of network and telecommunication solutions (star, mesh DVBRCS, QoS and security mechanisms, performances optimisation ...)

Preparing and validating deployment procedures

Achieve large scale pilot deployment (40 sites) and validation over
networks managed by medical leaders

Analyse how to turn the proposed solutions/services into sustainable
ones

DVB-RCS Technology advantages

DVB-RCS is a mature and fully operational technology : on the forward link, it
capitalizes on the success of DVB-S norm for TV broadcast and on the return link, it
offers powerful solutions (up to 2 Mbps return) for access and transmission over
satellite from anywhere.

DVB-RCS is an open standards technology which secures customer investments
in infrastructure by ensuring interoperability with heterogeneous network
environment : terrestrial, mobile, wireless, satellite 1W

DVB-RCS supports current and upcoming IP services and provides the network
functionality to support new generation of interactive and multimedia applications
(high quality video based applications).

The ground network independency of the DVB-RCS satellite solution enables
customers currently suffering of the lack of terrestrial broadband networks, to
access services at competitive prices.

Telemedicine Service and Medical domains Focus

Focus on three medical domains
 Chronic respiratory diseases
 Cardiology / Heart problems
 Oncology

Concerning four preferred services
 Services at home: monitoring and remote assistance to patient located in
isolated areas (islands, campaigns, mountains)
 Medical training : medical knowledge preservation & dissemination towards
medical staff, nurses, auxiliary nursing staff
 Second opinion : tele-radiology and interactive video-communication
between specialists
 Teleconsultation : interactive video-communication between general
practitioner/patient and doctor

Project End users dimension
Healthware’s success depends on the users involvement and their
acceptance of the proposed solutions/services
 Large scale deployment
 Appointment of Medical Leaders who will manage their own medical network
 Rely on a real-environment of use and evaluation
 Set up of a precise and continuous user-feedback, in order to sustain and adapt
each implementation,
 Benefit from a fruitful return on experience from all concerned actors and
beneficiaries of telemedicine (Medical user communities, Patients, Citizens) which
contribute at building the project’s orientations and improving the proposed
solutions.
