Title: | Wireless telemedicine systems: an overview | Authors: | Pattichis, Constantinos S. Kyriacou, Efthyvoulos C. Voskarides, Sotos |
Major Field of Science: | Engineering and Technology | Field Category: | Electrical Engineering - Electronic Engineering - Information Engineering | Keywords: | Information technology;Telemedicine;Medical care;Communication systems;Global system for mobile communications;Radiography | Issue Date: | Apr-2002 | Source: | IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine, 2002, vol. 44, no. 2, pp. 143-153 | Journal: | IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine | Abstract: | Rapid advances in information technology and telecommunications - and, more specifically, wireless and mobile communications - and their convergence ("telematics") are leading to the emergence of a new type of information infrastructure that has the potential of supporting an array of advanced services for healthcare. The objective of this paper is to provide a snapshot of the applications of wireless telemedicine systems. A brief review of the spectrum of these applications and the potential benefits of these efforts will be presented, followed by successful case studies in electronic patient record, emergency telemedicine, teleradiology, and home monitoring. It is anticipated that the progress carried out in these efforts and the potential benefits of emerging mobile technologies will trigger the development of more applications, thus enabling the offering of a better service to the citizen. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/1590 | ISSN: | 15584143 | DOI: | 10.1109/MAP.2002.1003651 | Rights: | © 2002 IEEE | Type: | Article | Affiliation: | Higher Technical Institute Cyprus | Affiliation : | University of Cyprus University of New Mexico Brunel University London |
