What is the meaning of Telemedicine?

Telemedicine (Telemedicine) is a product of the combination of network technology and medical technology, which usually includes: remote diagnosis, expert consultation, information services, online inspection and remote communication and other major parts, it is based on computer and network communications, to achieve the transmission of medical information and remote video, audio information, storage, query, comparison, display, and **** enjoy.

Characteristics of healthcare systems and video communication needs:

1, can be organically integrated with other digital healthcare systems to work together.

2, both holistic and decentralized: both in a province or city most of the hospitals unified procurement, the implementation of telemedicine system, the formation of a large-scale telemedicine network; but also three or two hospitals or academic institutions spontaneous procurement, interconnectivity, consultation or training.

3, focusing on practicality, in addition to teleconferencing, remote training, remote consultation, epidemic reporting and academic exchanges and other forms of application more.

4, the need for such as graphic **** enjoy, slide storage and sending, interactive whiteboard annotations and other richer multimedia data functions. Higher requirements for audio and video quality and communication reliability and stability, especially when used for remote consultation, the quality of the video image is more demanding. The network environment is relatively complex: at the national level, provincial level, medical schools or research institutions often have their own private network and rich bandwidth resources, in the municipal or county-level medical institutions do not have their own network, you need to rent the telecommunications sector, such as ADSL, ISDN and other communication rate lower network. For different network environments, different products and solutions are needed.

5 Videoconferencing systems for healthcare systems can be used for a variety of different applications, such as expert consultation, remote training, hospital visitation, industry meetings, administrative meetings (epidemic emergency command, epidemic reporting and notification), remote diagnostics, and interactive public education, etc. For the different application environments and purposes of healthcare systems, VTEL makes full use of its various types of video terminals (e.g., personal desktop terminals), which are available in a wide range of languages. VTEL utilizes various types of VTEL video terminals (e.g., personal desktop terminals, conference room terminals), and selects appropriate access methods (including E1, DDN, ISDN, LAN, ADSL, etc.) in accordance with the user's network conditions to provide a complete telemedicine solution that includes remote diagnosis solutions, remote training solutions, and industry conference solutions for three different applications.
