High Altitude Medicine Applications on Mount Blanc
e-Rés@mont's objective is to improve health security in the mountains, through the development, the implementation and the promotion of advanced local services of High Altitude Medicine, based on the technologies of e-medicine and remote consultancy. The targeted publics are residents, tourists and Mountain-professionals. Through the strengthening of the health services of the most isolated territories, the project contributes in the fight against depopulation and in the improvement of tourism. The project foresees some practices for the prevention and treatment of High Altitude Pathologies. In particular, the focus will be on altitude sickness, exposure's proper medications and on the realization of a research about physio-pathological responses to high altitude. Another genetic research on athletes’ performance during resistance competitions in high altitude is planned.
