Wireless technology advances and challenges for telemedicine

Role of Information Technology in Implementation of Telemedicine System

“…Technologies do not only assist medical practitioners and patients receiving treatment, they also benefit perfectly healthy people by providing a wide range of general health assessments. This can help maintain optimum health and identify abnormalities as early as possible via prognostics and health management techniques [1,[9][10]. S e p t e m b e r 1 0 , 2 0 1 4…”

“…Hospitals and clinics use the network for everything from patient care to administrative work and inventory management [9,[13][14][15][16][17].…”

“…Wireless communications have been developed to such an extent that numerous options exist. wireless telemedicine is far more popular than wired systems [1,9,[18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Wireless biosensing network for drivers' health monitoring

“…Additional features for monitoring various health parameters of the driver can be accomplished through connection of appropriate biosensors such as that deployed in a smart home environment [2]. Any anomaly detected will trigger an alarm and emergency response can be initiated through a telemedicine link [3]. The implementation is particularly suited for automotive consumer electronics marketing in response to the mandatory inclusion of eCall system in the EU by October 2017 [4] that does not entail retrofitting of any electronics components.…”

Interoperability in a Wireless Home Networking System for Healthcare Monitoring

“…With clear advantages offered by such home networking system, numerous challenges exist in system deployment in areas such as data accuracy and security [1]; such system therefore requires more careful planning then one that simply connects a number of consumer electronics appliances together.…”
