The first ever Armenian International Congress on Telemedicine and eHealth (ARMTELEMED), in 2011, involved 287 participants, including invited keynote speakers like Peter M. Killcommons, MD. ARMTELEMED took place in Yerevan, Armenia, over three days and was co-hosted by such organizations as the Union of Information Technology Enterprises and the Armenian Association of Telemedicine. On the second day of the Congress, Peter Killcommons delivered an address about his experience in deploying telemedicine technology in Eastern Afghanistan.
In all, the event involved representatives from the United States, Russia, Moldova, Georgia, Germany, and many other nations. Of those who participated, over 50 percent were either clinical practitioners or students. The remainder hailed from sectors like academia and the information technology and health care administration industries.
In addition to its international impact, ARMTELMED permitted local Armenians who worked in the telemedicine field to present their research to a diverse audience and to receive feedback from top professionals. The event also provided a forum where like-minded people could come together and begin partnerships that may yield joint projects and other kinds of positive collaboration.
