he National Technology Transfer Center (NTTC) brings space technology to the telemedicine industry through the NASA Telemedicine Technology Gateway. This is an information clearinghouse for NASA telemedicine technologies and initiatives.

The NASA Telemedicine Technology Gateway may be accessed on the World Wide Web (http://www.nttc.edu/telemed.html). The NTTC contacted each of the NASA Field Centers and Regional Technology Transfer Centers to compile their telemedicine information into one easy-to-reach source.

The NASA Telemedicine Gateway spells out NASA's telemedicine vision and goals and outlines the evolution of the space agency's telemedicine initiatives. Past and present applications of telemedicine technologies are showcased. The Gateway provides an in-depth look at NASA's telemedicine pilot projects, and its abstracts detail research on each of the other telemedicine projects under way at the NASA Field Centers.

The NASA Telemedicine Gateway also is a prime source for finding telemedicine technologies for which NASA is looking for partners. It has a number of links to other telemedicine resources and includes links to NASA TechTracS and the NASA Commercial Technology Network for more information about partnership opportunities with NASA.

A telemedicine information specialist at the NTTC is available to answer your questions about NASA telemedicine technologies.
