一个早期的远程医疗项目，涉及NASA、帕帕戈部落(现为Tohono O‘odham印第安人)、洛克希德导弹和太空公司、印度卫生服务和卫生、教育和福利部，探索了利用技术为亚利桑那州南部的偏远人口提供更好医疗保健的可能性。该项目名为STARPAHC(空间技术应用于农村帕帕戈高级保健)，于20世纪70年代开展，展示了一个由公共和私人伙伴组成的财团通过电信向偏远人口提供医疗保健的可行性。2001年，亚利桑那州健康科学图书馆获得了记录STARPAHC项目的重要档案材料，并与亚利桑那州远程医疗方案合作，建立了亚利桑那州远程医疗档案。这些材料可能会引起那些研究利用技术远程提供医疗保健的早期尝试的人，以及那些研究技术和科学项目在土著居民中的社会学影响的人的兴趣。
An early telemedicine project involving NASA, the Papago Tribe (now the Tohono O'odham Indian Nation), the Lockheed Missile and Space Company, the Indian Health Service and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare explored the possibilities of using technology to provide improved health care to a remote population in southern Arizona. The project, called STARPAHC (Space Technology Applied to Rural Papago Advanced Health Care), took place in the 1970s and demonstrated the feasibility of a consortium of public and private partners working together to provide medical care to remote populations via telecommunication. In 2001 the Arizona Health Sciences Library acquired important archival materials documenting the STARPAHC project and in collaboration with the Arizona Telemedicine Program established the Arizona Archive of Telemedicine. The material is likely to interest those studying early attempts to use technology to deliver health care at a distance, as well as those studying the sociological ramifications of technical and scientific projects among indigenous populations.
