Project Details

"Telemedicine" is a demonstration of alternative input interaction devices for emerging human computer interfaces in medicine.  
 
The project demonstrates existing medical informatic solutions including rehabilitation technologies, home-based health care compliments, telemedical applications (both hardware and software), and integrated solutions across various graphical user interfaces (GUIs). 
 
The presentation is third in a series of SIGGRAPH events (beginning with SIGGRAPH 94) that demonstrates pro-social and humanitarian uses of emerging technology.
