This study introduces a telemedicine system using mobile satellite communication for remote paramedical care. The developed system enables real-time transmission of vital signs and medical data, proving its feasibility for emergency medical services.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Technology
  • Satellite Communications
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Paramedical care in moving vehicles requires advanced communication solutions.
  • Existing telemedicine systems face challenges in mobile environments, including data transmission reliability and real-time operation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a telemedicine technique for mobile paramedical care using satellite communication.
  • To address challenges such as channel capacity, system size, vital sign transmission reliability, real-time operation, and electromagnetic interference.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a data format and an experimental system for simultaneous transmission of color images, audio, ECG, and blood pressure.
  • Full-duplex communication capability for audio and error control signals between mobile and ground stations.
