The first of a series of five workshops was held at the Rivne Vocational College of IT on the weekend of 7-8 February, attended by 30 students from the IT College, the National University of Water and Environmental Engineering (NUWEE) and the Kyiv Aviation Institute (KAI).
The workshops will be held each month and are teaching students how telemedicine integration is implemented, following the live project that is underway in Rivne. Workshop leaders are from the IT College, NUWEE, Seven Informatics and the NGO 100% Life, Rivne.
The first workshop covered the background to telemedicine and the requirements for integration of the information and devices used at the point of care. Students enacted their own telemedicine scenarios and planned an implementation project, using the agile Scrum methodology. They then got hands-on with the equipment being deployed in the server room at the IT College and finished the weekend by deploying their own virtual server environments.
Future workshops will cover the extraction of data from telemedicine devices, configuration of the Mirth integration engine, clinical information models for cityEHR, development of interfaces to the MIS and data analytics from the Data Lake.
