SYNOPSIS:

The Translational Medicine Mart (tranSMART) is a new, open-source platform for translational research originally based on the NIH-funded Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) initiative. Key use cases that tranSMART focuses upon include knowledge management for the combination of clinical and molecular data sets for use in ad-hoc analyses; identification of novel biomarkers associated with stratifications of disease or treatment response; and selection of potential indications for novel and known treatments targeting common molecular pathways. The presentation will include a live demonstration of the current release of the software to highlight key capabilitiesBrazilian Telehealth initiative enables videoconferencing, diagnosis, second opinion, continuous and permanent education, and web conferencing by linking university and teaching hospitals via the Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa (RNP, www.rnp.br), Brazil’s national research and education network. Three national projects operate under the Brazilian Telehealth Initiative: the Telemedicine University Network, RUTE (Rede Universitaria de Telemedicina www.rute.rnp.br); the Brazilian Health Open University www.unasus.org.br; and the National Telehealth Primary Care Program, Brazil Telehealth www.telessaudebrasil.org.br.  RUTE is an initiative from the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry (MCTI), and the other two are Ministry of Health initiatives.  Today, there are eHealth Centers in 61 university and teaching hospitals, including one at the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (INCA).
