What is Telemedicine

• . . . the use of electronic information and
  communication technologies to provide and support
  health care when distance separates the
  participants . . .
• Telecommunications Technology
• Medicine

4
Why do telemedicine?

• Access
• Provide primary healthcare that would not be
  available otherwise
• Specialty care consultations for isolated
  specialists, practitioners, and other health care
  professionals
• Eliminate expensive travel and isolation
• Reduce need to move patient
• CME for isolated health care providers

5
Types of Telemedicine

• Most common services mental health, dermatology,
  cardiology, orthopedics
• Common settings rural hospitals, prisons, homes,
  school clinics
• Three major types of telemedicine
• 1) real time
• 2) store-and-forward
• 3) remote monitoring

6
Internet Technologies

• IP videoconferencing (H.323, MPEG)
• Use of PCs and Internet for asynchronous
  consults, i.e. store-and-forward
• Other capabilities
• telemetry of data
• electronic mail with attachments
• file transfer
• White boarding
• application sharing
• chat

Digital Data sizes Requirement

• Digital Blood Pressure Monitor (Sphygmonometer) -
  less than 10 Kbps (Transmission Rates)
• Digital Thermometer - less than 10 Kbps
• Digital Audio Stethoscope and integrated
  electrocardiogram (Simulscope) - less than 10
  Kbytes/sec (required transmission rates)
• Ultrasound, Angiograph, - 256 KBytes (image size)
• Magnetic Resonance Image - 384 KBytes (image
  size)
• Scanned X-Ray - 1.8 MBytes(image size)
• Digital Radiolography - 6 MBytes (image size)
• Mamogram - 24 MBytes (image size)
• Compressed and full motion video (e.g.,
  Nasopharyngoscope, Opthalmoscope, Proctoscope,
  Episcope, ENT Scope) - 384 Kbps to 1.544 Mb/s
  (speed)

Applications

• Personal Area
• Home Monitoring Apnea, stress
• Rehabilitation
• Medium Area
• Battlefield survival, Disasters .
• Ambulances.
• Wide area
• Rural/ no infrastructure situations.
• Home Monitoring- Telemedicine.

14
challenges

• Increase of elderly people
• Cronical diseases
• Cardiovascular diseases
• Cancer
• Neuropathologies
• Infectious diseases.
• Home care assistance
• Peoples Trust.
• Citizens/patients ask for more information

15
Advantages

• Better information sharing among patient,
  physician,
• health insurance, pharmacy
• Leads to better patient outcomes
• Information is timely and coordinated
• Easier for doctor to use electronic systems
• No re-authentication required
• More secure for patient
• Personal health information
• Overall, better service to patient.

16
What we have to do?

• We have already implemented the accessing of
  photo, movies ,text from iSCSI server on PDA.
• We can easily store these type of data on iSCSI
  server easily at the remote sites.
• We have to make the Information system of each
  person containing all the information about the
  person.
• We have to make iSCSI implementation on the
  Windows system.
• If we develop the cam coder application than it
  will be more beneficial for remote monitoring.

17
Conclusion

• This improves the quality of healthcare by
  providing the prescription from the Specialist.
• There is no distance barrier between the patients
  and a specialists.
• No need of deploying any other wireless network
  for communication.
• Personal Data security.
• Easier Data access on the PDA so mobility is
  more.
