Obiettivo
R&D & feasibility study on the first interactive medium for distributing health and wellness programmes and personalised services to European citizens, via satellite and Internet direct to home digital TV sets, computers displays and mobile terminals. HEALTHSAT intends to develop advanced prototypes that will be mostly innovative in 3 years time: an integrated, open satellite+Web+WAP/UMTS platform the first integrated telecommunications multi-platform combining satellite, Internet and mobile technologies, fully compliant with all standards to come, allowing in the same time streaming and interactivity, and any-where, any-time access to programmes and services, and new techniques for producing programmes matching the requirements of broadcasting (digital TV), multicasting (satellite) and narrow casting (Web). Interactivity will be introduced through the utilisation of both the Internet technologies and the satellite Broadband Interactive System (BBI).
Objectives:
1.to establish an efficient network between 6 European leading companies - a satellite operator and its multimedia subsidiary, a health specific broadcaster, a narrow casting specialist, a Health Web content provider and publisher, a programme management company - and health professionals and citizens. To develop a global telecommunication service, supported by a pan-European and highly experienced consortium of infrastructure operators (the satellite operator SES-ASTRA and its multimedia subsidiary SES-MM), multimedia content providers (the Web TV operator CanalWeb, the e-health portal Planet Medica, the TV operator Channel Health), a professional pan-European management (MMC Europe), and the European Society of Cardiology
2.to build up the open, integrated satellite+Web+WAP/UMTS platform allowing in the same time streaming and interactivity, and any-where, any-time , any-media access to programmes and services.
3.to produce educational, informative health and wellness programmes fitting all the complex technological and editorial requirements of the project.
4.to implement both pilot interactive broadcasts via digital television and Web television, and large scaled broadcasts via traditional television and Internet.
5.to survey a panel of users for analysing evolution in needs and attitudes towards interactivity.
6.to provide a window on this new medium to European Health Institutions and establish an advisory board for the quality and the relevance of programmes produced.
Work description:
The satellite platform will build upon the basis of technical components which are currently considered as state of the art. Further developments to be conducted in the project will match components with requirements of both multicasting and interactivity, and address issues like newscasting, Webcasting, multiple transponder load sharing, quality of service, bandwidth management and Broadband Interactive return path. Two different systems will be developed for building and integrating the Web platform into the satellite platform: a traffic system for analysing editorial needs and programmes' traffic with multi-format playlists, multi-play and end-users profiles, and a digitalisation system for the automation of encoding and play system. The development of XML applications for the satellite + Web platform will allow testing the integration of a WAP/UMTS platform into the former. Important normative work will be conducted in the project (DVB/RCS, MPEG-4, MPEG-7). All along the project innovative health services and tools will be developed and proposed on the Web. They will be linked to broadcastings and videos of the database. New production methodologies matching with multicasting requirements will be developed and tested in the project, relating to graphical design and on air look definition, edition, production, dubbing, emission and contribution. Implementation of large scaled broadcasts via digital satellite system will serve 9 5 million already equipped households (streaming, narrowcasting, Webcasting, newscasting). Moreover 500 supplementary households will be equipped for testing all the aspects of interactivity. An advisory board will be established for ensuring the quality and relevance of programmes produced and for participating in the edition of institutional programmes. Health information will be designed to assist citizens to understand various health-related issues and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Milestones:
The major Milestones will be:
- in months 0 to 3: technical specifications (satellite platform, Web platform, WAP/UMTS platform, sampling and survey methodologies, programmes production, interactive services and tools)
- in months 3 to 6: development and integration.
- in months 6 to 12: deployment and pre-tests, beginning of broadcasting.
- in months 12 to 36: large scaled implementations and pilot interactive implementations.
The expected result will be the first interoperable and integrated satellite+Web+WAP/UMTS platform, that will be utilised for interactive health medium broadcasting 24 hours a day quality pan-European health and wellness programming to be accessed from TV (broadcasting, Web sites (streaming, high speed Internet) and mobile devices.
