Dear Chris:
===========
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I).
(2) I will be back from Fiji by December 4th.
I would like to meet with Mr.
Ken Kempner very much -- it
sounds very interesting!! Pls fix our mtg
in the following weeks.
(3) Harvey is the contact person for the UNITAR.
Pls feel free to contact
him, though UNITAR is more interested
in human right and peacekeeping
programs.
Dear Harvey:
============
(4) Referring to your previous msg, I forgot to
tell you that when you click
on "What we designed" at <http://www.teched.org/finland/>
of our Tampere
event, it will download a Microsoft's
PowerPoint slides which are mostly
diagrams of our regional groups
of our Global University System.
Probably since you did not have
PowerPoint software in your machine,
your screen was just gray.
Dear Chris:
===========
(5) About your another subject, you may contact
Skip Burkle, since his
center is also doing similar
work on disaster and emergency relief medicine.
Dear Skip:
==========
(6) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT III).
We are now working with Lex at
the University of Philippines/Open
University in Manila to have
a workshop which will design how to make
distance learning and telemedicine
between the UPOU and other schools in
Philippines with the US schools.
This is the continuation of the
subjects which we (Ben Haraguchi
and I) mentioned to your people when we
visited you last April.
I took the liberty of admitting
you into our listserve so that you will
be kept updated with our daily
progresses, including the Manila workshop.
Dear Chris:
===========
If possible, pls plan to attend the workshop, too.
Dear Lex:
=========
(7) Your people once sent me a msg saying that you
have ISDN line. Pls tell
me what speed it has.
Do you also have PictureTel (or VTEL) machine?
Dr. Takuma and I are considering
to have an echocardiography
demonstration during our workshop
at your university, as he did between
our Tampere event and his Presbyterian
Hospital in NYC last August.
However, this time, his associate
(Clarito Dimayuga, a Filipino doctor)
will bring a portable echograph
machine (ATTACHMENT IV) with him to
Manila which will be used for
a pseudo-patient on a tread mill.
This time, we will also use EcoTech's
software to show a 3D image of the
patient's heart which may be
cut (electronically, of course!!) to
examine its inside.
Dear Ricardo:
=============
Many thanks for your kind introduction to Chris, and also for the
brochures your secretary sent to me the other day.
Dear David Schultens:
=====================
(8) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT V).
I took the liberty of admitting you into our listserve. Keep in touch.
Best, Tak

Dear Tak,
My friend Ken Kempner is back from travel. If possible,
I would like to try
to link you two together because of your shared interests.
Ken has an
extremely sophisticated ATM/ISDN based teleconferencing
system which was
originally designed for medical applications but has
much broader potential.
It is being used by the National Cancer Institute and
the DOE. Ultra-high
bandwidth peer-to-peer communications can be established
over ATM or ISDN or
both depending on the local telecommunications infrastructure.
You can see
unpixelated live motion video and control equipment remotely
in real-time and
without latency (sometimes called live-time).
I have to get you two connected.
On another subject, I am working on a project at my school
(the Uniformed
Services University of the Health Sciences, USUHS, www.usuhs.mil)
on a core
curriculum for disater and emergency relief medicine.
I saw a number of UN
people CCd on the last message. Who would be the
best person to contact on
this? We are interested in developing a curriculum
for doctors, nurses,
medics, and other relief workers. Although USUHS
is the nations military
medical school, we train physicians and allied health
professionals from all
over the planet and have courses that are designed to
be open to any qualified
participant. This course is being specifically
designed with an understanding
that most of the student will not be military.
Thanks,

Dear Tak,
Thanks for your thoughts on
how I should proceed. I am going
to be devoted to some other projects for the next few
days but I
intend to keep trying.
By the way, I will not be at
the conference in Hawaii this week
but Chris Coleman will. I will be in Hawaii next week
(Nov 23-24) at
a different conference.
Best wishes,
Harvey

Dear Tak.
Following MSG is from ECTON. it is a quite unique company
in echocardiography.
Did you remember that a picture I showed you in Finland.
Sonnet is a new portable echo machine. I think this equipment
is more
attractive than any other echo machine when you want
to do telemedicine.
Please get in touch with Michael mentioned below.

Dear Dr. Takuma:
Thank you for your interest in the Ecton Sonnet digital
echocardiography
system. We expect to ship overseas the first quarter
of next year. Once we
get through initial production and get things running
in the U.S., we will
start working out relationships with overseas dealers
who will handle sales
and support of our product. I have put in the mail
to you today 10
brochures as rerquested. I have been unable to
speak with our president,
Michael Cannon, with regard to a telemedicine demonstration.
He is in
meetings through Thursday. I would suggest you
send him an e-mail with your
details of your request. He can be reached at mgcannon@ectoninc.com.

Scott and Gregg,
I suggest that we make contact with Utsumi-san at Columbia
University as I
think that we have substantial common interest in the
deployment of
Telemedicine applications and Distance Learning.
There is a substantial opportunity to utilize our technology
in the
satellite networks between multiple medical facilities.
