“…-Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is an IP-based technology based on the IEEE 802.16 set of standards for wireless communications developed in the 2000s for the delivery of last-mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and Digital subscriber line (DSL) over long distances, as mentioned in [12], and more recently with an interesting telemedicine case study in Ghana, described in [13].…”

People like to live, work, travel and vacation in all kinds of places and weathers. Our active and inquisitive nature takes us to the most extreme locations, and our gregarious behavior allows us to coexist in both isolated as well as overcrowded communities. In all these scenarios, the new paradigm of healthcare becomes significant. The objective of this paper is to highlight the essential elements of both the current and emerging technologies that may constitute a ubiquitous, universal network of healthcare networks, providing an efficient and effective health service distributed globally. Our aim is to describe the current health ecosystem in order to identify the key agents and basic interactions that may contribute to conform a conceptual framework to provide ubiquitous health services using technology as an enabler but not the central objective. We propose an integral scheme that includes technology applications, regulation strategies and collaborative networks in order to provide efficient healthcare services anytime, anywhere, to anyone.

Telemedicine has become an effective means of delivering quality healthcare in the world. Across the African continent, Telemedicine is increasingly being recognized as a way of improving access to quality healthcare. The use of technology to deliver quality healthcare has been demonstrated as an effective way of overcoming geographic barriers to healthcare in pilot Telemedicine projects in certain parts of Kumasi, Ghana. However because of poor network connectivity experienced in the pilot projects, the success of the pilot networks could not be extended to cover the whole city of Kumasi and other surrounding villages. Fortunately, recent deployment of WiMAX in Ghana has delivered higher data rates at longer distances with improved network connectivity. This paper examines the feasibility of using WiMAX in deploying a city wide Mobile Telemedicine solution. The network architecture and network parameter simulations of the proposed Mobile Telemedicine network using WiMAX are presented. Five WiMAX Base Stations have been suggested to give ubiquitous coverage to the proposed Mobile Telemedicine sites in the network using adaptive 4 × 4 MIMO antenna configurations.
