Abstract: In this paper, we describe mobile telemedicine, which is an application in advanced wireless multimedia communication. Mobile telemedicine is one of the advanced technologies of the 21st century. It can be used to provide auxiliary medical service and has accordingly been used in emergency situations, mobile hospitals, personal healthcare, and in rapidly alerting doctors to patients¡¦ disease, rehabilitation, etc. By exploiting the advantages of wireless multimedia communication, such as current high utility, convenience, high data transmission rates, high reliability, and wide coverage, we have developed a range mobile telemedicine systems. Mobile telemedicine technology is a wireless remote medical technology that incorporates a combination of biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science; the technology also includes various advanced medical services. It is a technology unconstrained by the limitations of time and space. Using this techn!
ology, family doctors can be more actively involved in the daily lives of their patients. There is no doubt that in the future, we will witness an era of ¡¥ubiquitous mobile telemedicine¡¦. This technology is expected to bring about revolutionary changes in the fields of medicine and engineering. Such changes will be accompanied by ample opportunities for business, scope for the early diagnosis of diseases, and improvements in medical services. Moreover, manufacturers of clinical equipment are expected to respond favourably to these developments. Advanced technologies of the 20th century, such as the internet and mobile communication, have made human lives considerably easier. The combination of these two technologies has given rise to wireless multimedia networks, an extension of which is the mobile telemedicine systems. We would like to emphasize that the R&D process of these mobile telemedicine systems is similar to that of pharmaceuticals.
Keywords: ubiquitous mobile telemedicine, advanced wireless multimedia communication, emergency situations, mobile hospitals, personal healthcare, patients¡¦ disease, rehabilitation.
