Abstract :
This paper introduces the developing status of telemedicine. Telemedicine is based on the technology of telecommunication, and it is one of the applications of computer supported cooperative work (CSCW). Computer supported teleconferencing applications have been developed in the field of CSCW and are providing more effective support for telemedicine services. This can be achieved by a combination of high performance networks and can reduce data transmissions during the conference. A scheme of a telemedicine system is proposed
