WHO-NST Workshop in Tromso, Norway, 11-12 June 2005

eHealth management for people living with HIV/ Aids

As a WHO collaborating centre for telemedicine, the Norwegian Centre for Telemedicine (NST) has been challenged to explore the potentials for telemedicine in health management for people living with HIV/Aids in the developing world. In connection with the 46664 Arctic Consert which will take place in Tromso on 11 June 2005, the NST will organize a workshop on eHealth support for HIV/Aids. The aim of the workshop is to explore how eHealth can improve the quality of life for people living with HIV/Aids.

The concept of the workshop is to invite a limited number of participants (max 30 people) from research, health-care provision and eHealth, who will have a shared background and interest in the field of HIV/Aids. We are particularly looking for co-operation with people and institions with experience in introducing information and communication technology into HIV/Aids treatment and follow-up (preferably) or with plans and ideas on how this could be done. As we are in the early phase of the planning process, we would highly appreciate any input, comments and suggestions to the topic.
