TeMeS – TeleMedSpace

Over the course of their lives, around one in three adults develops at least one pathological condition affecting the thyroid gland. Breast cancer is by far the most common form of cancer among women. Many of these conditions require lifelong monitoring and, in some cases, ongoing treatment. At the same time, hospitals are under considerable pressure due to a shortage of specialist staff and high patient numbers. It is often difficult to arrange flexible appointments, and long journeys place a particular strain on older people and patients living in rural areas.

A similar gap in care is evident in breastfeeding support. Particularly in the first few days after giving birth, many mothers rely on prompt, empathetic help – TeMeS brings this support directly to their homes. However, long journeys, time constraints and midwives’ heavy workloads make it difficult to provide timely and needs-based care for mothers.

This is where TeMeS comes in, providing digital access to specialised medical and advisory care.

At the heart of TeMeS is an innovative medical portal that enables secure, data-protection-compliant digital communication between healthcare professionals and patients. The technical foundation is provided by a communication server that is connected to the hospital information system via standardised interfaces.

This server links video consultations and medical documentation. Findings, medical histories and X-ray images can be fed directly back into the hospital information system or stored in the electronic patient record within the telematics infrastructure (TI). There are also plans to integrate further patient portals.

A comprehensive security concept ensures that all data is processed in accordance with the GDPR. The use of modern telematics components and, in the future, the TI Messenger ensures high performance, scalability and maximum security for all parties involved.
