description The information technology and communications (also known as ICT) are an essential part of the evolution in the economy and society. Access to information has become a vital tool for the development of a community. Consequently, there has been a phenomenon known as "digital divide", which refers to differences between countries that have access to ICT and those without. This project aims to provide a small gesture to reduce the gap between what is often called "differences between North and South", providing an improvement in the telemedicine system that the NGO Telecos Sense Fronteres is developing to the Region of South Atlantic of Nicaragua since 2006. This seventh stage of the project has tried, first of all, to make a careful maintenance of the infrastructure and equipment which currently has the Hospital Ernesto Sequeira Blanco of Bluefields; to improve their performance by incorporating a system of virtual desktops. In addition, the VoIP telephony system has been expanded to other departments of the hospital and other health centres of Bluefields, plus designing a virtual private network for their internal use. Secondly, there has been worked in a radio-link to bring telemedicine to Monkey Point, a rural community, isolated and without access to telecommunications. Finally, it has been emphasized the fact to bring the project to the community of Bluefields in order that they appropriate it and not see it as mere spectators. Related to this, some collaboration agreements have been closed with various local institutions that can contribute to self-management of the project, such as Bluefields Indian & Caribbean University (with engineering students) or the Sistema Local de Atención Integral en Salud (both with the economic and health sides).

L'accés a la informació s'ha convertit en una eina vital pel desenvolupament d'una comunitat. Arran d'això, ha sorgit un fenomen conegut com a “bretxa digital”, el qual fa referència a les diferències entre països que tenen accés a les TIC, i aquells que no. Aquest projecte pretén aportar un petit gest per tal de disminuir aquesta bretxa entre el que freqüentment s'anomena “diferències entre Nord i Sud”, proporcionant una millora en el Sistema de Telemedicina que la ONG Telecos Sense Fronteres està desenvolupant a la Regió de l'Atlàntic Sur de Nicaragua des del 2006. En aquesta setena fase del projecte, s'ha pretés, en primer lloc, fer un manteniment acurat de la infraestructura i els equips dels quals disposa l'Hospital Ernesto Sequeira Blanco de Bluefields, millorat-ne les prestacions amb la incorporació d'un sistema d'escriptoris virtuals. A més, s'ha ampliat la xarxa de telefonia VoIP per tal de fer-la extensiva a altres departaments de l'hospital i a altres centres de salut de la població, concretant una xarxa privada virtual pel seu ús intern. En segon terme, s'ha treballat en un radioenllaç per fer arribar la telemedicina a Monkey Point, una comunitat rural, aïllada i sense accés a les telecomunicacions. Finalment, s'ha fet èmfasi en apropar el projecte a la pròpia comunitat de Bluefields amb la finalitat que se l'apropiïn i no el vegin com a mers espectadors. En aquesta direcció, s'han establert convenis de col·laboració amb diferents entitats que poden contribuir a l'autogestió del projecte, com són la Bluefields Indian & Caribbean University (amb estudiants d'enginyeria) o el Sistema Local de Atención Integral en Salud (amb la part econòmica i relacionada amb la salut).Universitat Politècnica de CatalunyaMeseguer Pallarès, Roc20122012-07-2020122012-07-25master thesishttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_bdccNAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2099.1/15877reponame:UPCommons.
