Katsuki Sensei, please kindly show us your selection of the best time slot/slots of the recorded clip for the demonstration
1. Newly devised “Multimedia telemedicine system” developed in Saga University, was applied to enhance our activities towards Sri Lanka.
2. Medical experts can remotely observe their patients with the help of local doctors, and plan properly before and after leaving for developing countries.
3. We believe this collaboration tool over the Internet is applicable and effective in areas other than telemedicine both internationally and domestically.

The local medical staff must be such that they are easy enough to learn and applicable on local patients without much difficulty.
A sustainable system
The equipments and the technology that are already available in the recipient country must be used as far as possible
1. Surgeons in Japan who will go to Sri Lanka for surgeries can get accustomed to there situation while being in home town.
2. While the Japanese medical experts are in Sri Lanka , they often require to contact their superiors in Japan for advice.
3. After returning to Japan, the medical personnel can observe their patients remotely and prescribe necessary treatment and advice.
4. The medical experts in Japan can use the designed tool to give educational presentations or demonstrations to local physicians in Sri Lanka .
