desTelemedicine is changing the classicalform of health
care delivery, dramatically increasing the number of
new applications in which some type of distributed
synchronous cooperation between health care
professionals is required. This paper presents the
design and development ofa telemedicine distributed
system for cooperative medical diagnosis based on
two new approaches: 1) a distributed layered
architecture specially designed to add synchronous
computer supported cooperative workfeatures either
to new or existing medical applications; 2) the
definition of a methodological procedure to design
graphical user interfaces for telemedicine
cooperative working scenarios. The cooperative
work is supported by a collaborative toolkit that
provides telepointing, window sharing, coordination
and synchronization.
Finally, we have implemented and installed the
telemedicine system in clinical practice between two
hospitals, providing teleconferencing facilities for
cooperative decision support in haemodynamics
studies. This specific implementation and a preliminary evaluation were accomplished under the Research Project FEST "Framework for European Services in Telemedicine" funded by the EU AIM Programme.[+][-]
