Health and disaster management

Health and disaster management are two service sectors that are crucial for development. At the same time, both are extremely dependent on information and communication processes. A few seconds can make the difference between life and death. Thus, technologies that permit real time interaction are essential. Both sectors also have the need to analyse massive volumes of information, and quality of service is dependent on the intelligence that can be extracted from stored data. ICT facilitate the development of these sectors, by helping to institute new management and support models, assisting in the supply of advanced patient- and citizen-centred services, and providing the means to streamline communication and collaboration among system professionals and providers.
