SUMMARY:MobileDiagnosis® Model: Use of m-Technology in Rural Health Care a
 nd Education
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Livia Bellina (Founder and President of Mobile Diagnos
 is\nPalermo via Sciuti\n180 90144 Italy)\n\nAbstract: \nAbstract: The poss
 ibility of capturing high quality images directly from the microscope\, an
 d transmitting them for distance diagnosis purposes using a mobile cell-ph
 one (m-phone)\, that we define MobileDiagnosis\, can significantly increas
 e training opportunities and diagnostics quality while lowering costs.\nMo
 bileDiagnosis (MD) was born in 2008\, by sending the first diagnostic imag
 es from a microscope field by a mobile-phone through a MMS\, to answer to 
 an emergency in a malaria diagnosis in Lampedusa Island.\nMD has been expo
 rted from the emergency to the daily routine and from telepathology to sev
 eral diagnostic fields and to the education by involving and training 227 
 students\, in 6 Countries\, with 10 Courses of basic health and community 
 care and with practical m-technology.\nMD is useful to educate and create 
 ICT network within community or between isolated communities in a local/gl
 obal network.\nOur next action is to add to the local education\, the firs
 t basis of micro economy and social entrepreneurship to improve local life
  by promoting health care and education\, along with local productive acti
 vities\, agriculture\, farming\, fishing\, and all of other activities con
 tributing to rural development. We Help people to create an economic and a
  social sustainable project\; whether in little villages or in big cities\
 , with equal opportunities and in a smart ethical new way.\n
