Abstract :
Delivering affordable high-quality E-health care services requires effective telecommunication and multimedia technologies in conjunction with medical expertise. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a telecommunication and networking architecture for implementing next generation Telemedicine and Telehealth systems. Our integrated optical-wireless based network provides super broadband, ultra low-latency connectivity for voice, video, image and data across various telemedicine modalities to facilitate real-time and near real-time communication of remote health care information.
