Abstract

Telemedicine and telehealth are emerging areas of information technology that has had increasing importance of university centers for tele-education, tele-assistance and research multi-centers. Even today, these emerging areas have faced problems for the maintenance of digital security as well as the transmission of information between distant points to carry out their main activities focus. This paper presents the results of scientific and technological collaborative development between research groups from Brazil and Colombia to carry out the practice of telemedicine and telehealth applied to health since 2013. A result of international partnership between the Laboratory of Systems in Health [Lab.Sh] technological research core (NPT) at the University of Mogi das Cruzes (UMC), SP, Brazil, and the Research Group on Telemedicine (TIGUM) of the Military University Nueva Granada (UMNG), Bogotá, Colombia, which continue to work promoting technological development between countries in South America with the implementation of collaborative work between university centers of reference and innovation.
