Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and the University of Utrecht, with the cooperation of the Social Cooperative of Cyclades as the receiving Organisation, organise a Minor Project for Telemedicine in Greece.

The traineeship is aimed at investigating and finding ways to improve the telemedicine system in Greece.

To do so, we applied the method of Design Thinking. This method offers a range of tools to help find a solution to complex problems.

The activities consist of visiting health care organisations in Greece, interviewing people who are involved with telemedicine, applying tools to better understand the problem, finding ideas and experimenting with solutions.

Telemedicine is considered the most important technology, as it enables effective patient treatment at a low cost. Today, it may seem to be a novel approach, but very soon, telemedicine software will be commonly used by healthcare professionals.

Four students from the Netherlands have developed this E-learning in collaboration with Miltos Sakellariou,  Chairman of the board at Altera Vita.

E-learning is aimed at students in medical universities, to inform and enthusiasm them about telemedicine.
