Press Release Summary:
March 16, 2008 - Toronto, Canada - Christopher Iles, an honorary speaker at the 2008
Government Technologies Conference and Expo, will be presenting on the REACH project
and other related Tele-health projects performed by Communications Research Centre
(CRC), the Canadian Government's primary laboratory for research and development in
advanced telecommunications. Christopher Iles is Project Leader, satellite
Communication and Radio Propagation, CRC. The fifth annual conference is the most
anticipated Government event, being hosted at the Design Exchange on April 15 - 16,
2008.

The CRC is the Canadian Government's primary laboratory for research and development
in advanced telecommunications and is at the forefront of research activities and
trials being conducted for the delivery of Tele-health services via satellite. As
Canadian demand for healthcare increases, adoption of Tele-health services and
systems can be a powerful tool to assure high quality medical care for all people,
and in many cases at reduced cost and with faster response time. Extending the reach
of ground infrastructure, satellite-based Tele-health applications have the
potential to reach every Canadian, regardless of their location.

From the air-ambulance service, to remote community medical centers in the northern
regions, and more recently with homecare services directly into the patient's house,
CRC's technology has helped the medical community to reach its client faster and at
lower cost.

The presentation will show how these services have helped the patients and the
medical community and will elaborate on the expected performance. The presentation
will dwell longer on the Remote Assertive Community Homecare (REACH) experiment
which aimed at offering remote medical monitoring to severe mentally handicapped
people. These patients could stay in the comfort of their home instead of being
hospitalized. With the system, a significant number of travel visits to patient's
homes are being substituted for teleconference visits, thereby reducing the time,
cost and risk involved in travel. The presentation will discuss the benefits,
drawbacks and lessons learned from this project.

Government officers, and especially medical executives, will learn about different
Tele-health technologies to reach patients via satellite links. From air ambulance
services to remote medical community centre and homecare services, the presentation
will present the benefits and lessons learn. It will also be an opportunity to
establish contacts with CRC for collaboration or information sharing.
