<p> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>AKAMAI</b>
is a congressionally mandated Department of Defense (DOD)
telemedicine project designed to deploy and assess the value
of telemedicine and telecommunications technologies in the
military's Pacific region health care system. This is for
the purpose of transferring patient medical data (text, image,
and video) among facilities and all necessary theater locations
in peace and war. </font> </p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The prevailing
AKAMAI telemedicine concept is directing telemedicine and
digital imaging operations throughout the Pacific Region,
including ships at sea. Active telemedicine operations are
currently supporting: Micronesia, U.S. Coast Guard Ships at
Sea, 3rd Medical Group and Bassett Army Community Hospital,
Alaska, 15th Medical Group Hawaii, 121st Evac Hospital, Republic
of Korea, Madigan Army Medical Center, Washington, and US
Naval Hospital Guam as well as the Naval Hospital in Okinawa,
Japan. AKAMAI is tasked to investigate clinically relevant
applications of emerging telemedicine related products, technologies,
and services. This is to include using already established
bandwidth to pass patient information back and forth. Further,
the project seeks to evaluate telemedicine's impact on the
health care delivery system and military readiness. </font></p>
