In this paper, it's presented a Java application development for the acquisition and management of information about vital signs (blood présure, heart and respiratory frequency and oxygen saturation in blood) of a patient, to be showed in a computer and sent through Internet, allowing specialist doctors to monitor their patients remotely by the net, in real time, so they can give indications to personnel...
To enable remote monitoring and diagnosis of patients located far from medical facilities, a prototype Internet based telemedicine system is developed. The developed telemedicine system establishes an audio-visual connection as well as a data path from the patient's home to the medical personnel's office through a web browser interface. A remote controlled wireless camera installed on the patient...
Role provisioning is an essential yet complex aspect of the design of virtual organisations. This paper addresses an even more complex scenario in telecare. Here the roles may be doctor, nurse, carer, etc. And they must be enabled to participate in monitoring remote care-receivers via the internet, using their professional expertise and skills, with access to online-resources. We show that the complexity...
The current health care system faces new challenge: increasing aging population, growing health cost, and mobile life. We present a kind of network architecture for Health Care Monitoring. This network named HCMNet integrates isolated wireless sensor networks (WSNs) into internet. Each WSN composed of health care sensors and one mesh router operates as a mobile ad-hoc network. Sensors can move in...
As people's living standards gradually improving, monitoring and ensuring the well being of citizen becomes an important part of our social care network. Due to the limitation of the quantity of family physicians and the level of telemedicine techniques, the ideal goal of the family medicine with respect to overall promotion of health care is still far to reach. This paper presents a novel framework...
The dissemination of the available telemedicine systems for the optimization of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is prevented by the need of complex infrastructures. We developed a device which, once connected to Internet through the mobile phone network, allows an authorized physician connected to Internet to monitor the ventilator signals and modify the settings in real-time without the need of...
Telemedicine system has become as a major research topic due to the increase of aging population and chronic diseases. Patients usually transfer their test results to the hospitals or doctors through telemedicine system. The purpose of this report is to combine the current medical equipments and services with and the most recent network technology. Through telemedicine system, patients will have more...
Although different systems are available on the market to record ECG and to send it to an analysis station, there is still demand for a more versatile, easy to use device that shorten the time the diagnosis is available, avoiding the patient to move to a healthcare center: the purpose of our work was to validate a solution that fullfil this requirement. Twenty family doctors and two cardiologists...
Nowadays, there is a growing interest in telemedicine in Brazil, because the country is the fifth largest country in the world and there is a huge gap between the population size and the number of available doctors. Institutions and the government are considering solutions for the integration and availability of data produced by several different systems. In this paper we present a contribution that...
The development of community health care system is a positive solution to achieve the goal of universal health care for everybody. Its ultimate goal is advanced technology applied to conventional medical care for realizing the hospital care to the family care and really improving life quality. In this paper, we built a software platform by using VC + + program for realizing immediate communication...
The number of patients with primary prophylactic ICD implantation rises. Resources for a regular ICD follow- up every 3 months are not available. The REFORM Study investigated in a prospective, randomized and multicenter comparison study the effect of ICD home monitoring (HM) against conventional follow-up (FU) in MADIT II patients: A special focus was on different resource use and resulting costs...
