Abstract:
The telemedicine systems for the decision of patient transfer, and the direction of patient treatment through remote consultation are necessarily required for better patient care in emergency situation. In this paper, the prototype emergency telemedicine system has been designed and implemented. The unified integration of multimedia components, including full-quality video, vital sign signals, radiological images and video conferencing in a single computer, provides an efficient means to investigate the accurate status of emergency patient at the remote location. The software implementation of needed functionality without any externally attached hardware CODEC units enables the compact design with low cost, and ease of operation at the emergency room. Experimental tests at the local networks analyze the technical aspects of implemented systems, and optimize the parameters subjectively to run telemedicine systems with affordable error. Inter-hospital experiments demonstrate the possibility to be effectively used at emergency situation.
