telehealth applications. As an FYI after presenting at HIMSS Singapore last
year Intel of Australia (sorry for using their name) showed me a prototype
telehealth device very similar in size and shape (even with the handle) to the
XO but it was designed as a tablet with touch screen.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

in about 30 to 90 days. I’m trying to get on the agenda for a national conference
in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nanning</st1:place></st1:City> sponsored
by the Chinese Hospital Information Management Association (CHIMA). It’s
too early to tell if this will work out. However, I can at least get the
material to my contacts by email and follow up with a Skype call. My wife
speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, and Sichuanese but she’s a little shy on text
translation at the moment – though I’m bugging her. :-) I have some
professional translation software that might help get her started.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I can follow up on the health care side. I met a representative from the UN Secretariat
at my last presentation who indicated she would network me to the WHO and
possibly an NGO following up the children with disability piece. We’ll
see what happens. At the conference we were dealing with issues on the
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the International Bill
of Human Rights.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

from the FL Dept of Health. They have a consumer health education program and
might have some material for use by consumers and educators. They typically
have translations in Spanish and Creole. I also have initial interest form the
FL LambdaRail (<a href="http://www.flrnet.org/">http://www.flrnet.org/</a>) They
are part of the National LambdaRail (NLR) system. I hope to have a meeting with
them next week.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
