Abstract :
The structuring of standardized medical protocols (ELMP) that can be used in distributed tele-medicine systems (TS) is dealt with. The protocols are needed to handle the medical data exchange between TS; TS can be considered as an aggregation of medical data sources and communication servers. The medical protocols have been integrated in an already presented TS tested in the field by means of a pilot project consisting of twenty-two (22) medical nodes.
