Design and develop a video conferencing framework for real-time telemedicine applications using secure group-based...

Area of Science:

• Medical Informatics
• Computer Science
• Cybersecurity

Background:

• Telemedicine, particularly video conferencing, offers remote healthcare access, especially for rural populations.
• Sensitive patient data transmitted during video consultations necessitates robust real-time security measures.
• Existing telemedicine systems require secure frameworks to protect sensitive information.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a secure framework for telemedicine video conferencing systems.
• To develop a management solution for secure video conferencing groups.
• To ensure real-time data security in telemedicine applications.

Main Methods:

• Utilized Java Media Framework Application Programming Interface classes for framework design and testing.
• Implemented Real-time Transport Protocol over User Datagram Protocol for secure audio/video stream transmission.
• Employed RSA and AES encryption algorithms for data security services.

Main Results:

• The proposed secure framework effectively addressed real-time data security requirements.
• Encryption algorithms demonstrated an insignificant increase in video conferencing computation time.
• The system provides a complete management solution for secure video conferencing groups.

Conclusions:

• The developed secure framework is suitable for telemedicine video conferencing.
• The security measures do not substantially hinder the performance of video conferencing.
• This approach enhances the safety and reliability of remote healthcare delivery.
