A physician, medical imaging expert, and philanthropist, Dr. Peter Killcommons served as the keynote speaker at the First Armenian International Telemedicine Congress in Yerevan, Armenia, in October 2011. Held on the campus of Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) State University (RAU), the Congress included 287 participants, more than 50 of whom were international residents. The event was co-hosted by the Armenian Association of Telemedicine and the Union of Information Technology Enterprises, as well as global non-governmental organizations Armenian Telemedicine Association and the Society for Telemedicine and eHealth.
Dr. Pete Killcommons provided the Congress with details about his recent work with Nangahar University Hospital and Nangahar Public Hospital to bring a modern, computerized telemedicine system to eastern Afghanistan. The Congress also featured a variety of scientific sessions, lectures, panel discussions, and roundtable discussions on the subjects of telemedicine technologies, commerce, and education.
The primary goals of the Armenian International Telemedicine Congress are to allow Armenians interested in health information and communication technology (ICT) to communicate with an international audience; to provide a venue for local, regional, and international health ICT professionals to meet each other; and to facilitate opportunities for global ICT professionals to share their work with the general public.
