A Telemedicine Application Project in Emergency Handling.

Abstract:- Wireless communication technology could strongly help in facing health emergency situation. Real time video and medical parameters transmission and storage are nowadays-possible thanks to wireless communication techniques. Medical data such as electrocardiogram, blood pressure and other patient’s information are transmitted to a remote hospital/medical database center server. Actions taken by the emergency staff are stored for real time operative-center interaction and for a successive database consultation. The video recording of the emergency event can also be very useful as legal evidence in case of disputation. In this paper a system for telemedical real time connection is described. The system has been implemented using low-cost consumer technologies such as GPRS and WiFi for low-band data/video transmission, H.264 for the real time video stream encoding and database video storage. SQL relational database has been used for store and query data. All system is based on Microsoft.Net technology allowing great portability and stability to overall modules, such as HMI (Human Machine Interface) and codecs
