The 30-month initiative, coordinated by Son Dureta, seeks to provide Web-based diagnostic and/or therapeutic support for complex medical cases requiring specialized opinions in different health areas (initially adults and pediatrics Oncology as well as Infectious Diseases). The communication among doctors and the sharing of medical cases will be performed by using a cost-efficient Web 2.0 portal that will facilitate the exchange of medical images, videos and reports. Strategic objectives of the project include the facilitation of communication and medical knowledge exchange to develop diagnostic, therapeutic and technological support actions within distinct healthcare settings, the encouragement of human resource, technology, and infrastructure investment policies, the implementation of multinational online Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs, the creation of clinical research groups, and the evaluation of an inexpensive Web platform for clinical case sharing.
