Abstract

Telemedicine is often assumed to apply to all medical services delivered over a telecommunications channel. However, in this paper, a dynamically adaptive multi-disciplinary workstation (DAMDW) is discussed which is usable by a significant number of specialists and primary care physicians which not only adapts to the specialty of the physician, but also to the bandwidth available to the participating health care centers. The telemedicine system architecture described easily incorporates advances in computer and communication technology that minimizes early obsolescence. In addition, the system maximizes remote logistical support, providing significant operational cost reduction. The DAMDW is a based on the Unix operating system with software components which can be used on various computer architectures that provide cost alternatives during the system acquisition process. The DAMDW incorporates informatics interfaces as well as commercial videoconferencing software and videoconferencing software obtained using anonymous FTP on the Internet.

自适应多学科远程医疗系统

远程医疗通常被认为适用于通过电信通道提供的所有医疗服务。然而，本文讨论了一个动态自适应多学科工作站(DAMDW)，它不仅适应医生的专业，而且适应参与医疗保健中心可用的带宽，可供大量专家和初级保健医生使用。所描述的远程医疗系统架构很容易结合计算机和通信技术的进步，从而最大限度地减少早期过时。此外，该系统最大限度地提高了远程后勤支持，显著降低了作战成本。DAMDW是一种基于Unix操作系统的软件组件，可用于各种计算机体系结构，在系统获取过程中提供成本选择。DAMDW集成了信息学接口、商业视频会议软件和通过互联网匿名FTP获取的视频会议软件。
