Independent Tele-Health-Care for Disaster Relief The mission of the project is to design and develop tele-healthcare technological solutions for disaster hit areas. Whenever a major disaster hits a region, the basic infrastructure, including healthcare facilities, are severely damaged. We propose to develop rapidly deployable and portable tele-health facilities in disaster hit areas so doctors could start treating patients within a very short span of time. tele-healthcare.org Bio
