Abstract

In medical care fare, a sophisticated and user friendly information exchange system can promote the workflow efficiencies significantly. In this paper, the CSCW(Computer Supported Cooperative Work) technology, IM (Instant Messaging) in Telemedicine is discussed, and a novel telemedicine solution is introduced. The new solution is based on IM, using the XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) protocol and Jini technology. XML in XMPP helps us to communicate and make various configurations. Jini enables computing devices to join the IM system. This IM system makes the medical care information exchange more sophisticated and convenient.
