Technical Symposium 47 Wednesday 26.10.2011 11:00-12:30 LabSpace #4 Wednesday 26.10.2011 11:00-12:30 LabSpace #3 Interactive panorama video systems make users feel they are actually present at a live event. And these sensational experiences can now be delivered over broadband networks. Such innovations in broadband networks and network services are critical for the growth of a digital economy. Policy makers throughout the world are therefore increasingly determined to ensure that everybody should have access to high quality broadband services. The mapping of broadband demand, availability and usage is vital to the realisation of this ambition. In rural and remote areas next generation satellite broadband technologies will play an important role in reducing the digital divide. Information and communication technologies have already become an inseparable part of healthcare sector activities. But eHealth is often characterized by a fragmentation of technical offerings from several vendors with limited interoperability features. Interoparibility is crucial for correct interconnection of medical devices and information systems especially when different types of health-related data need to be transmitted to multiple healthcare stakeholders for different purposes. Information integration challenges exist in referral hospital as well as in healthcare in the community environments. Mobile cloud computing technologies may provide one way forward.
