Digital Health for Space and Extreme Environments

ISfTeH Working Groups

The Digital Health for Space & Extreme Environments Working Group of the International Society for Telemedicine & eHealth is an initiative that promotes telehealth and its applications in space and other extreme environments.

Planned activities

Promotion of virtual events, such as webinars, panels and lectures regarding the theme of the WG.
Main
Motivating the involvement of international participants – speakers, researchers, professors, students.
Establishing and conducting research related to the application of digital health in space missions and other extreme environments.
Creation of a network of people involved in areas related to the theme of the WG.
Organization of a repository/archive of information regarding the theme of the WG, based on the activities and initiatives developed by the WG over the year.

Our aims

To create awareness of the contribution of digital health in the maintenance of the health and wellbeing of people in remote locations;
