Project objective Development of a common Telemedicine solution for dual use, based on the technologies derived from ESA Human Space Flights

Main functional/user requirements

• Fully independent IP-broadband based satellite network

• Sharing of resources among the MoDs to interconnect the hospitals

• User friendly application to coordinate the access to resources (specialists, bandwidth, facilities)

• Include new generation applications for videocomm, medical imaging and patient information systems

• Privacy protection, data safety/security and Quality of Service features

• Ability to be interconnected with pre-existing Telemedicine national systems

T4MOD – Participants

T4MOD – History and Key milestones

14

• 2007 MoDs of France, Germany and Italy present to ESA DG the wish to develop October a joint satellite based Telemedicine project. The three Space Agencies (CNES, DLR and ASI) and ESA decides to start the activity in the IAP (Integrated Applications Promotion) Programme Preparation.

---- >T4MOD was born

• 2007 MoD of Spain decides to join T4MOD

December

• 2008 Internal activities dedicated to analysis of user scenarios, architecture trade offs, demo sessions using different technologies, study of Quality of Experience aspects for medical videocomm are carried out by ESA in cooperation with the four MoDs.

• 2009 The projects becomes an industrial activity hosted in the ARTES 20 (IAP) January Programme of ESA, which will be co-funded by industry. April The joint Memorandum of Intents on T4MOD among ESA and the MoDs is signed.

T4MOD – History and Key milestones

15

• 2009 An industrial team composed of Telespazio (I), with NDSatCom (D), GMV (E), April Dialcom (E), DLR Space Medicine Institute (D), OneAccess (F) as subs and Covalia (F) as sponsoring partner is set up September The project is presented to the board of ESA (JCB) and approved. ESA funds are about 2M EUR (50% of project cost)

• 2010 Consortium agreement and preparation of industrial proposal

• 2011 February The industrial proposal is presented to ESA November After a series of negotiation steps, the project is Kicked Off • 2012 May Baseline Design Review is concluced October Critical Design Review is concluded • 2013 Verification and begin of the 12 months pilot activities June

Support from and Benefits for the MoDs

Support from the MoDs? • The allocation of manpower resources to the project, able to take/relay strategic

decisions and provide technical/operational expertise

• The participation to the T4MOD advisory committee to review the key project documentation.

• The support to deploy, install and use the system during the pilot stage Benefits for the MoDs? • Demonstration of a pre-operational solution to solve current issues • Opportunity to run pre-operational Telemedicine services during the pilot stage at no

cost

• Gain of expertise likely to be useful for MoDs’ current and future initiatives, also via specific supporting activities initiated by ESA (e.g. ASSIST, QoE projects)

• Develop network with colleagues from other MoDs
