Invitation to participate in Canada's contribution to the update of ISO/TS13131 Telehealth Quality Guidelines

Greetings colleagues.

As you may know, Canada has agreed to be one of the 5 countries participating in the update of ISO/TS13131 from a technical specification to an international standard. Many of you will remember that Canada authored the original work, and participated with the authoring team from the Netherlands in the creation of this TS several years ago. This latest revision is being led by Alan Taylor from Australia.

I've been tasked to coordinate Canada's participation. We are being asked to provide comments, and I’d like to engage a group to help me do so. If you are interested, please respond to this post, or contact me directly at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
