Foil 8 Tango in HealthCare - I

From Overview of Tango applications Tango Tutorial Alliance 98 NCSA Illinois -- April 27 98. by TangoInteractive Team


There are several natural applications as Tango supports the "Bridge" concept of Warner and Balch which effectively claims that dynamic collaboration ("Interventional Informatics") approach (as supported by Tango) is better model for TeleMedicine than classic videoconferencing/distributed sensor data model
As well as rural distance medicine, we can see many opportunities for home health care especially for geriatric applications.
  • In a separate project we have linked low cost sensors through PC serial port and into Java event handlers so that can feed Home medical monitors to servers and client side filters.
Note analogies between C2 and medical planning and decision support with several different experts and people with different skills in the field
  • Geographic distribution and mix of asynchronous and synchronous interactions
