5.  For communications systems are copper wires, fiber optics
microwave ,links and/or satellite transponders.
 The major emphasis is on transmission speed and
bandwidth.
 The telemedicine consists of hardware, software, medical
equipment and communication link.
 Healthcare service delivery alternative measured in
clinical, technical and economic terms.
 The basic concepts of telemedicine are given as depending
upon the situation.
 Store and forward concept
 Real time telemedicine

6. •Telemedicine which is broadly defined as the use of telecommunication
infrastructures to provide medical information
•These included the use of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
and the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
TELEMEDICINE
ESSENTIAL PARAMETERS FOR TELEMEDICINE
•Primary patient Data
•Patient History
•Clinical information
•Observations
•Investigations

7.  Telemedicine Technology
 Transmission of medical images: One of the most
important aspect of telemedicine is the acquisition
and transmission of medical images such as X-Rays,
CT, MRI, histopathology slides,etc.
 Transmission of Digital Audio: Audio channels are
usually provided for diagnostic instruments or
Doppler ultrasound.

TELEMEDICINE APPLICATION

9. COMPONENTS OF
TELEMEDICINE
 Internet
 Video-conferencing.

10. Viewing electronic patient records remotely.
 Sending patient information from the field to a
central database
 Building systems to connect home healthcare
patients and providers with central systems
 Moving patients through the ER by allowing
entry of insurance and other information from
the treatment room
ADVANTAGES

11. Telemedicine is facing a number of key issues that must be
addressed before it can realize its full potential first
standards must be set, ranging from a common language to
the standardization of computer architecture, so that
health care providers can share data. Medical
reimbursement of expenses for telemedicine is also an
important factor, which would have a major influence or
the growth of telemedicine.
However most existing telemedicine programs at present
are operating in an investigational setting. Issues such as
telemedicine technology management and other barriers
such as professional, legal and financial are still under
debate.
