Interactive medical teleconsultations are an important tool in modern medical practice. Their applications include remote diagnostics, conferences, workshops, and classes for students. In many cases, standard medium or low-end machines are employed, and the teleconsultation systems must be able to provide a high quality of user experience with very limited resources. Particularly problematic are large datasets consisting of image sequences that need to be accessed fluently. The main issue is insufficient internal memory; therefore, proper compression methods are crucial. However, a scenario where image sequences are kept in a compressed format in the internal memory and decompressed onthe-fly when displayed is difficult to implement due to performance issues. In this paper, we present methods for both lossy and lossless compression of medical image sequences that only require compatibility with the Pixel Shader 2.0 standard, which is present even on relatively old, low-end devices. Based on the evaluation of quality, size reduction, and performance, these methods have been proven to be suitable and beneficial for medical teleconsultation applications.

“…Simple solutions offer medical file sending capabilities [58,59], more sophisticated ones provide various communication channels (audio, video, chat, telepointer) and image processing tools [60][61][62][63]. TeleDICOM is a complete system for remote consultation of medical data stored in DICOM format as well as in other general purpose graphical formats.…”

Contemporary healthcare delivers vast amounts of data. Telemedical systems contribute considerably to this, broadening the spectrum of available information greatly to include: -general medical and social profiles -history of previous therapies -laboratory and imaging examination results -records of everyday activities of patients and prescribed rehabilitation -records of food calories and times of meals -basic body parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, body weight, temperature, blood glucose level, etc. -records of drug intakeThe sensing and monitoring of our life activity is going to be pervasive [1]. It will be a source of very valuable information which may considerably improve healthcare operation leading to personalized and proactive medicine, currently perceived as a very promising research area. At the same time demand for healthcare will become more and more widespread due to commonly observed trends: -better living conditions (including medical care) and civilization progress mean that people live longer than before. An ageing population is, however, at greater risk of cognitive impairment and frailty -chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes affect a considerable percentage of the population in highly developed countries -intensive and successful promotion of a healthy lifestyle and awareness of the importance of self-management of health and diseases Efficient utilization of this information requires employing advanced ICT technologies such as big data processing, machine learning, cognitive computing, predictive analytics etc. One of the interesting areas of medical data processing is modeling of selected aspects of human body behavior, supporting medical diagnoses and proactive treatment. This chapter presents how existing telemedical systems may contribute to this vision of future medicine. In Section 13.2 the traditional model of healthcare supported

“…Hence, the study suggested that the implementation of a cursor pointer will enhance the consultation process, especially for congenital heart disease. Moreover, the system has also been implemented in teleradiology consultation [42,43] as shown in Figure 4(A). A similar approach has been adopted in telementoring of gynecological surgery where a cursor pointer is used to highlight the structure and landmark anatomy on the monitor of the operating room [44].…”

Telepointer is a powerful tool in the telemedicine system that enhances the effectiveness of long-distance communication. Telepointer has been tested in telemedicine, and has potential to a big influence in improving quality of health care, especially in the rural area. A telepointer system works by sending additional information in the form of gesture that can convey more accurate instruction or information. It leads to more effective communication, precise diagnosis, and better decision by means of discussion and consultation between the expert and the junior clinicians. However, there is no review paper yet on the state of the art of the telepointer in telemedicine. This paper is intended to give the readers an overview of recent advancement of telepointer technology as a support tool in telemedicine. There are four most popular modes of telepointer system, namely cursor, hand, laser and sketching pointer. The result shows that telepointer technology has a huge potential for wider acceptance in real life applications, there are needs for more improvement in the real time positioning accuracy. More results from actual test (real patient) need to be reported. We believe that by addressing these two issues, telepointer technology will be embraced widely by researchers and practitioners.
