Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : |
Iran and Australia are two developing countries. Australia has good experiences about Tele-health that can be used under the same situations in Iran. These experiences can be shared for getting better results for implementing Tele-health systems in Iran.
By considering that the members of congress were from many different universities which work on Tele-health systems seriously, making a direct communication between PhD students in Iran and Australia is beneficial for both countries. |
|
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
Honestly speaking, all the steps were cumbersome in Iran. There is not any crystal clear flowchart that shows how steps should be passed for getting documents, required before travel. |
|
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
Video conference and real time method are two popular topics in Tele-health that can be used in many different situations.
Technology is very important factor in tele-health, and so change in technology has side effect on the tele-health applications which have been designed in past.
By making comparison between Iranian and Australian students, I found students in Iran are more knowledgeable. However this knowledge only is stored in their heads and would not be used for developing something or proposing a new idea. On the other hand, they are very goal oriented. I mean, they are more productive. |
