Stud Health Technol Inform. 1998:52 Pt 1:307-10.

Abstract

Telemedicine technology is emerging as a new way of medical practice. It will provide more cooperative activity between departments and more comfortable access for disabled patients home. We developed two types of telemedicine system: a telediagnosis system and a home care system. Our telemedicine application is aimed to be run on the broadband-integrated services digital network (B-ISDN). The legacy network is also considered. The user interface is designed to help doctors to communicate easily. The key elements of telemedicine systems are user friendly interface, medical multimedia database design highly refined display technique.
