Satmed e-health platform

SATMED is an e-medicine software developed for satellite, and thus accessible everywhere on simple digital devices. It is owned by the Government of Luxemburg and aims to help healthcare providers to make better use of e-medical/health technology and services with a focus on remote and underdeveloped areas. SATMED is an operation launched in 2014 and tested in cooperation with several partners including NGOs, GOs, hospitals and medical universities. After its initial roll out in Sierra Leone during the Ebola outbreak, the platform has been used in multiple locations across Africa and Asia, enabling medical workers to access data (protected under EU regulation), information, and educational material. Free access to the platform was granted to healthcare professionals involved in the fight against Covid-19.
