Summary
Telesfor system is the result of an initiative undertaken by researchers from Microsoft Innovation Center in Poznan, that attempts to bring a user-friendly and safe system for the support of communication in healthcare. Telesfor is based on ConferenceXP architecture. It enables a document-based collaboration that is enhanced by exchange of text messages and videoconferences between multiple participants of a communication session. It also brings tools for effective organization of a session allowing to address differences in role and competence of participants. In this paper, we present Telesfor system and show how it may be used in telemedical consultations and in distance learning.
