Health

The principal objective of this line of work is to contribute to the sustainability of the model of rendering healthcare services through the incorporation of telemedicine into the care processes. The line focuses on the provision of tele-rehabilitation services in the homes of the patients.

This project is being worked on jointly with the IB-Salut (Balearic Health Service) which provides the medical personnel necessary to define and validate project requirements.

Currently there are various projects underway that seek to implement the use of video games in rehabilitation processes so that patients can do part of their rehabilitation in their own home without having to travel to hospital every day. This is done by playing in front of the television with a video game that helps them in the rehabilitation of a functional disability, however always under the supervision of the hospital's medical staff.

One of the objectives that takes maximum priority in the iBit Foundations' Health Area is that of transferring all the knowledge acquired during the development of any activity. For this reason, a permanent effort is made to compile and formalise all this knowledge in order to disseminate it in the form of publications and training courses.

During the 2009-2010 academic year, a Specialist University Course on the Integration of Healthcare Information Systems was given, which had the primary objective of giving an overall view of the different information systems present in the healthcare environment and an in-depth analysis of everything related to integration. This course was given onsite at the University of the Balearic Islands as one of its own Postgraduate degrees, totalling 23.8 credits and 250 hours.

The Health Area also periodically offers training courses and workshops to technical personnel from the different bodies that form part of the public healthcare system. These include:

• Workshop on the Integration of Medical Imaging (15 hours)
• Workshop on the Integration of Healthcare Information Systems (15 hours)
• HL7 v2 Workshop (15 hours)
• Workshop on the Methodology for the Management of Projects on the Integration of Healthcare Information Systems (15 hours)

In addition, there are periodical papers and publications at major conferences related to ICT and Healthcare at a national and international level.
