WIRELESS MULTIMEDIA COMMUNICATION APPLICATION: MOBILE TELEMEDICINE

Abstract It is essential for medical professionals to keep track and organize their patients medical records. Keeping this information is not an easy task especially with a voluminous number of records and other documents that have to be filed, usually in rows of labeled folders in file cabinets. This paper proposes the utilization of a mobile telemedicine framework that addresses this dilemma. The project makes use of eb !ervices and a mobile application as the client in accessing and entering patient information. ith mobile phones, medical practitioners can take advantage of its technological capacity and geographically e"tend their practice to be of service to more patients by bringing this to remote areas such as barrios in the provinces despite the absence of broadband internet connection, essential for web services# a pivotal element of the project infrastructure.

% e"!loiting the advantages of &ireless multimedia communication# such as current various utilities# convenience# high data transmission rates# and high availabilit of net&or' reach. (ccident victim can be aided to reach to the emergenc clinic as fast as !ossible. This enables the !h sician in the clinic to assess the !atient$s !h siological condition in advance and arrange for emergenc medical resources &ell in time# &hich could decrease the actual time re)uired for treating the !atient.

INTRODUCTION (fter register the client have to im!lement hard&are in their car li'e vibration sensor &hich is monitored b microcontroller and if an anomal is found location of the car is ac)uired using ,/0 and !otential accident information is sent to nearest hos!ital based on current location of the car. *hen the car meet &ith an accident the sensor &ill first detect the im!act and if the im!act is more than the threshold then it &ill send some information to the Microcontroller &hich in turn communicates &ith ,/0 to ac)uire the location# then s stem &ill send client Id and location to server using ,0M modem. The server &ill then find the location of the nearb registered .os!ital de!ending u!on the information sent b the ,0M and then send the information to the hos!ital about the accident along &ith the !hone no. of the client and its location.
