ITU-T Study Group 17 (SG 17) is organizing a half day Workshop on "Radioactivity safety and security threats protection and telemedical support for irradiated people" on August 30th 2011. This workshop will take place at the ITU Headquarters in Geneva.

ITU-T Study Group 17 has been working for the last ten years on the redaction and establishment of Recommendations and standards in telebiometrics also applied to telemedicine and e-health. The Fukushima nuclear accident triggered interest in the application of telemedicine in the field of emergency telecoms both for the caring of populations living in the affected area and the workers and physicians operating there.

The objective of this workshop is to consider all these activities in the field of nuclear science and emergency telecoms. The aim of the workshop is to explore the issues and aspects of human safety and telebiometric security and their consequences for telebiometric, nuclear-medicine teleconsultation, telecommunications and e-health technical standardization work and how ITU and SDOs deal with these challenges.

Further objectives are:

• Awareness of telecommunication security Recommendations
• Promotion of Study Group 17
• E-health and telemedicine Recommendations (joint activity with ISO and IEC).
• Information exchange with other organization
• Promotion of adoption of ITU-T Recommendations X.1081, X.1082, X 1083, etc.
• Developing ITU-T Recommendations X.1092 to X.1097 (telemedicines)
• Modelling the medical practice in the telemedicine environment.

Policy makers, researchers, academia, manufacturers, developers, emergency telecommunications people, nuclear medicine physicians.
