Health Care

This includes testbed networks and collaborative applications to link remote and urban patients and providers to the information they need, database technologies to collect and share patient health records in secure, privacy-assured environments, advanced biomedical devices and sensors, and system architectures to build and maintain the complex health information infrastructure.

Some of the interesting challenges in this area :

Testbed networks to link hospitals, clinics, doctor's offices, medical schools, medial libraries, and universities to enable health care providers and researchers to share medical data and imagery.

Software and visualization technology to visualize the human anatomy and analyze images from X-rays, CAT scans, PET scans, and other diagnostic tools. Virtual reality technology to simulate operations and other medical procedures. Collaborative technology to allow several health care providers in remote locations to provide real-time treatment to patients.
