The MARIA project has supported local and remote multimedia access for both clinical treatment of patients and medical research and targeted at three complementary areas: a medium scale implementation supporting activities of a particular medical speciality (paediatrics) to make specialist expertise and information held in a central organisation with geographically spread satellites in a region of the United Kingdom; a European scale implementation of an information network to support research and practice in a particular field (cancer research); and a study of the potential integration of existing medical and other networks, and the requirements and appropriate technology for future developments. The project was aimed at promoting the uptake of medical telematics, both in daily clinical practice, and through the concept of a 'research institute without walls'. Two demonstrators were developed, one operating at an international level for a specially (oncology), the other supporting the regional focus of healthcare provision in paediatrics.
