Experiences from an International Tele-Epilepsy Collaboration
Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 09/03/09

Ahmed SN et al. – The international tele–epilepsy collaboration has proven feasible and valuable to all participants. This experience suggests considerable thought and preparation are needed before a teleconference to ensure its success. The authors provide a recipe to set–up similar telemedicine collaborations. Considerations include time zone differences, equipment type, interoperability between endpoints, connection capabilities, bandwidth availability, and backup plans for unsuccessful connections. Telemedicine can facilitate epilepsy care around the world, identifying with the concept of a "Global Health Village".
