Clinical Requirements

• Majority of telemedicine in the past 5 years
  has simply been video conferencing applied to
  healthcare
• Move towards products specifically designed for
  clinical aspects of telemedicine
• teleradiology (Distributed Medical Image Viewer
  with DICOM 3.0 support view multiple modalities
  and images concurrently - 2kx2kx12 bit chest
  x-rays, 512x512x8 bits MRI/CT, image matrix,
  image enhancement features - cine, zoom,
  window/level, reverse image..)
• telepathology (remote positioning of slides,
  1kx1kx24 bit stills with real-time capture and
  display)
• teledermatology (high resolution image capture,
  gold standards database)
• telecardiology (electronic stethoscope,
  10Hz-200Hz frequency response, ECG, EKG)
• regulatory standards (UL 544, FDA 510k, EMI,...)
• seamless integration of medical instruments
