Dear John:
==========
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I) with URL of Agilent Technologies.
Dear Mr. Otahara:
=================
(2) I found your name and address at the above URL.
(3) I would like to respectfully inquire
your help for our telemedicine
demonstration during
our workshop in Manila, Philippines (date has not been set yet).
This workshop is to establish the Global University System in the
Philippines, which is a subset of the Asia/Pacific regional
operation of our Global University System.
(4) The telepresence demonstration with
echocardiography will be performed
at the workshop by the
Presbyterian Hospital of Columbia University in
New York. The
echocardiograph image of a patient on a tread mill in
Manila/Philippines will
be sent to the Presbyterian Hospital for
diagnosis, as we did
during our Tampere event in Finland last August
<http://www.uta.fi/EGEDL/>
(*). However, this time, the 3D image of his
heart will also be constructed
as an upgraded feature, which can be cut
into a half to examine
its inside. The images will be disseminated to
the participants around
the world via ISDN and Internet.
(*) Pls click Roger Boston's web in the home page of this site.
Then, click August 9 in the left column.
You can then click Telemedicine1 and Telemedicine2 at the top of
the right-hand side column to view video clipping of our
echocardiograph demonstration with Presbyterian Hospital of
Columbia University in New York with PictureTel via ISDN at 384 Kbps.
In this home page, pls also click "FINAL REPORT OF THE
CONFERENCE." Then go to "IV. Compilation of comments:" in PART I.
Then click Shin Takuma on October 8th. You can then find Dr.
Takuma's (Presbyterian Hospital) report of this demonstration.
(5) I would like to inquire you;
(a) name and address of Agilent representative in Manila,
(b) who has HP-5500 echocardiograph machine in Manila?
(c) if there is none in the Philippines, can you loan it?
(6) BTW, Raj Gururaja of our Agilent Technologies
in Hong Kong kindly
offered a videoconferencing
bridge for our Tampere event free of charge.
However, we could not
locate HP-5500 in Finland, so that we had to use
Aloka (Japanese made)
machine, and a bridge of PictureTel in England.
Raj then kindly introduced
a Brazilian representative Ms. Mariana Tolovi
<mariana_tolovi@agilent.com>
for a similar telemedicine demonstration in
Manaus/Amazona on May
31, June 1 and 2.
Agilent is going to provide our Brazilian colleague with a S4
Transducer, Sonos 5500 and the 500 Mhz CPU (from HP) and she is in
coordination with Echotec to arrange the software which produce 3D
image of a heart.
