Aspects of Network Architecture for Remote Healthcare Systems

Disasters are inevitable aspects of the human civilization and the limitation of extending the medical infrastructure to every corner of the demography is a challenging task. Technology can cater to need of the availability of medical expertise for each affected individual in the disaster virtually. A medical infrastructure can be envisioned using existing LAN and WAN communication technology standards that can be deployed at shortest time interval and intelligent enough to deliver assistance along with virtual availability of the medical expert. The main issues posing challenge in such deployments include load balancing for both WAN network access points and local data gateways by exploiting all available interfaces. The addressing of the actuators directly from the remote sever is another bottleneck in the scenario besides the fairness of the stream schedules and quality of service and/or experience.
