Collaboration
Red Universitaria de Telemedicina de América Latina and the Caribbean
(RUTE-ALC)
RUTE-AL seeks regional integration of health in Latin America, from academic networks and in collaboration with the various actors and professionals of health institutions. Its objective is to expand and strengthen scientific and educational cooperation in health in Latin America through the implementation of collaborative activities that support the development of a regional telemedicine network based on the experience of the University Telemedicine Network (RUTE) of Brazil.
Publicación
18 years of collaboration in digital health and expansion towards RUTE-ALC
In the digital world, with the increase in data, image, and audio processing, storage, and transfer capacities; the use of sensors; precision and predictive medicine; genomics; and artificial intelligence, it is no longer possible to forgo sharing existing knowledge among nations, even while being aware of restrictive commercial practices focused on profitability. Scientific progress must be a common good based on shared knowledge. In the authors’ view, collaboration networks in health—especially in educational and research environments—will increasingly become both a trend and a necessity. Collaboration networks in scientific knowledge serve this purpose.
About RUTE-ALC
Upon registration, any health institution can participate in the sessions but only research and teaching institutions that are members of the academic networks can create new SIGs (Special Interest Groups).
Through the links of RedCLARA (Latin American Cooperation of Advanced Networks) with the academic networks and the articulations between specialists, the participating institutions count on the collaboration of associated networks in Latin America, Europe, Asia, Australia, United States, BRICS countries and Portuguese-speaking countries.
