We can adapt telemedicine systems in advancement of information technology capabilities and increase of network bandwidth. The telemedicine service can be applied to a public health center, a school, a prison and islands in lacks of medical equipments and medical staffs. The telemedicine services which can be provided high quality medical services. We designed the multiple control server system consisting 3 sub-function, patients and doctors name list, network types, connection states and computer equipments. The telemedicine link configuration was decided as 'Flowing', or 'By-passing' in accordance the network type and bandwidth of patient systems or doctor systems. The multiple control server system was performed the best communication configuration over heterogeneous networks. This system was achieved high quality telemedicine services through dynamic wired and wireless networks at any time. This study represented a hybrid multimedia telemedicine system over heterogeneous networks. We expected that the designed system could provide not only the high quality services, tele-diagnosis and tele-consultation, but also the effective emergency telemedicine services to multi-patients in the heterogeneous network environments.

In emergency telemedicine system based on wireless communication system with limited transmission capacity, it is necessary to transmit the biological data (ECG, BP, Respiration, $SpO_2$) of the patient continuously and reliably in real time. For this service, it is necessary to data compression and error control. In this study, we designed an protocol for error control in application layer and implemented it on the biological data transmission program for an emergency telemedicine system based on wireless data communication system.

The purpose of this study is to design and implement a maritime telemedicine system to provide the best medical service for patients who rescue and happens in sailing ship. For this purpose, INMARSAT and MVAST, which are necessary communication channels for maritime telemedicine, were examined and diversity in maritime communication path was suggested. It was implemented to enable maritime telemedicine by linking smart devices and medical devices for physical examination. The marine telemedicine system adopts the HTTP communication protocol to configure the web server and process the client request. The patient's chart information was entered using an application for AndroidPad and the patient was diagnosed using Bluetooth electronic stethoscope for diagnosis. This system enables appropriate medical treatment to emergency patients at maritime, which ultimately can improve medical services. It is expected to be a more effective medical support system through linkage with various medical equipment.

In this paper, we designed and proposed new routing algorithm that can support a variety of vital-sign traffic characteristic and could be applicable to USN for telemedicine by using adaptive transmission power level and increase frequency of routing request message. In proposed routing algorithm, when an emergency vital-sign traffic is applied, we use large transmission power to reduce route query response time and make the priority order in route process. On the other hand, for non emergency vital-sign traffic, we use low transmission power and adaptive decrease frequency of routing request message. which is insensitive to delay. The proposed scheme should be better QoS performance in complex USN than conventional method, which is performed based on uniform transmission power level.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of video communication with medical staff located at a remote location, through a communication application connected to a long term evolution (LTE) mobile communication network in a moving ambulance. Methods: In this study, we recruited patients who were transferred by mobile intensive care unit ambulance from one hospital to another. In the moving ambulance, the information of the patient was transferred to a physician using the application in real time. Recorded video files were evaluated by emergency physicians with experience in video direct medical control. Results: A total of 18 patients were evaluated, and the average score was 5.9 out of a possible 9. It was expected that applying the use of the technology to actual clinical sites would enable the sites to provide assistance. Conclusion: In this study, we confirmed the possibility of benefiting from the clinical field when using the video-audio communication application which is connected to the remote location in real time through the current LTE mobile communication network in the ambulance.

Even though the emergency telecommunication make possible that specialist offers medical care over emergency cases in moving vehicle, we still have many problems in transmitting the image or video of patient over several wireless networks. To alleviate the effect of channel errors on compressed video bit-stream, this paper analyzed the error resilient features of JPEG2000 standard and measured the quality of transmission over noisy wireless channel, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO networks, compared to the features of error resilient tool of MPEG-4. We also proposed the optimum solution of transmitting images over real 3G network using JPEG2000 error resilient tool.

The telemedicine system provide an efficient means to monitor the status of health and measure bio-information even though the limitation of distance and time. The telemedicine system can be divided into two categories. The first one is Remote Support Service which can monitor the patient including home environments and give those diagnosis information to medical office. and the other one is Alarm Service that can be used for tile emergency status. For the convenience of the patient we will design and implement portable healthcare device and the telemedicine system under the wireless ZigBee network environments.

Many attempts have been made for the health and lives of patients at a remote site. but little attention has been given to emergency system using wireless or other intelligent networks. In this paper, shown is a remote emergency system which can be used in an ambulance. It possibly gives a great help to the patients who may lose their lives, in other words, gives pre-hospital cure to them being sent to the hospital. Doctors or specialists are able to give a quick help which may give a new life to patients. This system deal with very important patient's data-ECG, SpO$_2$, blood pressure, biomedical signal data etc. - as other emergency system. A good performance better than other system is many but shortly spoken as follows. First, this system is user friendly system activated in windows 2000 environment. Second, MPEG4 and ECG data sent to the other station for specilists can give a pre-hospital cure to patients in advance. Third, there exist effective algorithms to operate this system. Fourth, this system has been made with software mostly, so this system can be easily embedded in IBM compatible computer. In addition to this performance, for the better and reliable system, various tests were proceeded and recursively tested. Tests were made in EV-DO wireless network and Local Area Network. This mobile-fixed remote emergency system using wireless network like EV-DO network will give a great usage to needed area.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is being used in a wide variety of fields due to the recent 4th industrial revolution. In particular, research is being conducted that combines IoT with the medical field such as telemedicine. Among them, the field of shock detection is a big issue in the medical field because the causes of shock are diverse, treatments are very complex, and require a high level of medical knowledge and experience. The transmission of infectious diseases is common when treating critically ill patients, especially patients with shock. Thus, to effectively care for shock patients, we propose an architecture that continuously monitors the patient's condition, and automatically recommends a drug injection treatment according to the patient's shock condition. The patient's hemodynamic information is continuously monitored, and the patient's shock generation information is recorded periodically. With the recorded patient information, the patient's condition is determined and automatically injected with necessary medication. The medical team can find out whether the patient's condition has improved by checking the recorded information through web applications. The study can help relieve the shortage of medical personnel and help prevent transmission of infectious disease in medical staff. We look forward to playing a role in helping medical staff by making recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of complex and difficult shocks.
