“…This review is limited to telemedicine by means of satellite communications. More in-depth assessment of the definition and breadth of telemedicine can be found in several review and discussion references [390,386,337,393,441,383,352,353], some theoretical articles linking satellite communication with health [441,415,446,448,372,444,451,453,449,445,442,454,447,364,450], as well as country reports [330,387,322,378,343,355,359,325,321,399].

BACKGROUND Space technology has an impact on many domains of activity on earth, including in the field of global health. With the recent adoption of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals that highlight the need for strengthening partnerships in different domains, it is useful to better characterize the relationship between space technology and global health. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the applications of space technologies to global health, the key stakeholders in the field, as well as gaps and challenges. METHODS We used a scoping review methodology, including a literature review and the involvement of stakeholders, via a brief self-administered, open-response questionnaire. A distinct search on several search engines was conducted for each of the four key technological domains that were previously identified by the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs’ Expert Group on Space and Global Health (Domain A: remote sensing; Domain B: global navigation satellite systems; Domain C: satellite communication; and Domain D: human space flight). Themes in which space technologies are of benefit to global health were extracted. Key stakeholders, as well as gaps, challenges, and perspectives were identified. RESULTS A total of 222 sources were included for Domain A, 82 sources for Domain B, 144 sources for Domain C, and 31 sources for Domain D. A total of 3 questionnaires out of 16 sent were answered. Global navigation satellite systems and geographic information systems are used for the study and forecasting of communicable and noncommunicable diseases; satellite communication and global navigation satellite systems for disaster response; satellite communication for telemedicine and tele-education; and global navigation satellite systems for autonomy improvement, access to health care, as well as for safe and efficient transportation. Various health research and technologies developed for inhabited space flights have been adapted for terrestrial use. CONCLUSIONS Although numerous examples of space technology applications to global health exist, improved awareness, training, and collaboration of the research community is needed.

“…Even the wireless network technology for healthcare is continually improving [20]. In particular, the quality improvement of wireless tele-medicine for E-health is shedding the light on future tele-medicine [21]. In recent years interest in tele-medicine has seen an increase in the field of tele-radiology.…”

Students who are learning medical radiology undergo practical training on radiography in university labs or hospitals. However, when using radiation exposure and anthropomorphic phantom which concern the use of actual X-ray apparatus, the benefits of practical training can be limited due to difficulties in employing a variety of patient positions. This study will propose the implementation method of simulator in order to develop an unprecedented radiography training simulator. The study seeks to improve the quality of practical training by proposing a method for acquiring the image which will be used as a database in the simulator, as well as a method for creating an algorithm so that concerns of radiation exposure by students can be addressed, and limitations of practical training using anthropomorphic phantom can be eased. In the field of digital radiography, a simulation method that allows for examination procedures and images that are equal to those from an actual X-ray examination but without the exposure of X-rays is proposed. A suggestion is made on the method for creating an algorithm that uses images according to the changes in dose and size of images which are then used as part of a database in the radiography training simulator. A programming method that can bring corresponding images from images which were databased according to the examination procedures was proposed. In addition, a service or interchange of sustainable database is possible using an online service with accumulation of more diverse practical images. Furthermore, it can be built on so that images can be studied in a practical manner using smartphones. The use of a radiography training simulator should be able to provide higher quality practical training through repetition without the ethical issues arising from radiation exposure. It can become standardized way that remove the constraints of patient position when using an anthropomorphic phantom.

Independent living of senior citizens is one of the main challenges linked to the ageing population. Senior citizens may suffer from a number of diseases, including the decline in cardiopulmonary conditions, weaker muscle functions and a declined neuromuscular control of the movements, which result in a higher risk of fall and a higher vulnerability for cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. With respect to cognitive functions, senior citizens may suffer from a decline of memory function, less ability to orientate and a declined ability to cope with complex situations. This is by itself a big societal challenge with impact in multiple sectors. In this paper we present an innovative ICT solution, named eWALL, that aims to address these challenges by means of an advanced ICT infrastructure and home sensing environment; thus differentiating from existing eHealth and eCare solutions. The system of eWALL will extend the state-of-the-art of Assistive Platforms and will significantly increase the independent living of seniors.
