  The Rural Telemedicine Cooperative, Inc. is developing and sharing healthcare technologies for and with rural and underprivileged communities. These areas may include:

1. Low density towns or non-urban areas with minimal access to healthcare
2. Poverty stricken populations and areas with low median incomes
3. Farming and rural community healthcare
4. American Indian healthcare

Research and development is ongoing for general healthcare applications as well as in areas of patient monitoring and electronic health records management. Areas of specific interest and expertise include:

A.  The licensing and development of an Electronic Health Record (EHR) Transfer Network technology to allow disparate entities to locate and exchange health records of all types.

B.  The licensing and development of a Personal Health Record (PHR) system technology to allow patient's control over content and control over access to their health data.

C.  Consulting - advising, evaluation and implementation telemedicine systems and hardware.

D.  Intra-State licensing and cross licensing agreements to allow for technology integration and replication with evolving Health and Information Management software systems.

In addition to the telemedicine system outlined above, the RTC seeks to form partnerships with other agencies for:

I.  Grant writing assistance to obtain local funding for systems.
II.  Grant writing assistance to obtain follow-on and operations funding.
III. Offering Technical expertise on hardware, software, and network communications.
IV.  Developing a complete telemedicine system blueprint to share with governments,
    or communities who wish to efficiently develop their own telemedicine project.
