One of the computer application fields which started showing noticeable new growth trends in recent years is the real time communication distributed computing application field. Object-oriented(OO) real time(RT) distributed computing is a form of real-time distributed computing realized with a distributed computer system structured in the form of an object network. In this paper, we describes the application environment as the patient monitor telemedicine system with TMO structure. Vital sign information web viewer systems is also the standard protocol for medical image and transfer. In order to embrace new technologies as telemedicine service, it is important to develope the standard protocol between different systems in the hospital, as well as the communication with external hospital systems. We implemented integration patient monitor telemedicine system between vital sign web viewer systems and hospital information systems.

The TMO may contain two types of methods, time-triggered methods(also called the spontaneous methods of SpMs) which are clearly separated from the conventional service methods (SvMs). The SpM executions are triggered upon design time whereas the SvM executions are triggered by service request message from clients. In this paper, we describes the application environment as the patient monitor telemedicine system with TMO structure. Vital sign information web viewer systems is also the standard protocol for medical image and transfer. In order to embrace new technologies as telemedicine service, it is important to develope the standard protocol between different systems in the hospital, as well as the communication with external hospital systems.

Telemedicine uses common technologies that provide a conduit for information exchange between physicians nurses and patients. In addition to patient records, medical professionals can obtain vital signs and other reference data through telemedicine applications. also, recent advancement in RF technology and wireless communications has enabled the development of Ubiquitous networks. Mobile telemedicine involves more than just communicating via mobile phone of PDA that sends and receives medical data on Portable Internet. this paper describes the design of a mobile telemedicine PDA prototype based on Embedded Linux that can be used to monitor the medical information using a single board computer(SBC). This system would be very useful for patients with chronic illness, especially in an emergent environment, and for containing medical cost in the aged society.

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.

It is able to apply to remote medical examination and treatment. Through the proper data exchange and management of patient vital sign information, real time vital sign information management will offer better workflow to all hospital employee.

In this paper, we present a patient real-time vital sign information transmission system to effectively support developing real-time communication service by using a real-time object model named TMO (Time-Triggered Message-Triggered Object). Also, we describe the application environment as the ICU(Intensive Care Unit) to guarantee real-time service message with TMO structure in distributed network systems. We have to design to obtain useful vital sign information, which is generated at parsing data receiver modulor of HIS with TMO structure, that is offered by the central monitor. Vital sign informations of central monitor is composed of the raw data of several bedsite patient monitors. We are willing to maintain vital sign information of real time and continuity that is generated from the bedsite patient monitor. It is able to apply to remote medical examination and treatment. we proposed integration method between a vital sign database systems and hospital information systems. In the real time simulation techniques based on TMO object modeling, We have observed several advantages to the TMO structuring scheme. TMO object modeling has a strong traceability between requirement specification and design.

Counselling between a patient and a doctor is crucial in telemedicine. In order for the doctor to examine the patient accurately, it needs an auscultation, at least. Currently, some video conference systems are implemented but it is hard to use them in the case of an cardiac disorder, because the patients suffering from cardiac disorder cannot be examined by a stethoscope over Internet. To solve this problem, the remote counselling service has to support real time transmission of the heart sound of the patient. In this paper, we present a remote counselling system with stethoscope. We also design and implement the system in order for health monitor to connect the patient with his attending physician for the environment of u-healthcare service. The proposed system supports a mobility for doctor and patient by exchanging IP addresses at an user authentication protocol. The system implemented by this paper can be used for cardiac patients in remote clinical setting in the future.

Body fluid monitoring and management are essential to control dyspnea and prevent re-hospitalization in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). There are several methods to estimate and monitor patient's volume status, such as symptoms, signs, body weight, and implantable devices. However, these methods might be difficult to use for reasons that are slow to reflect body water change, inaccurate in specific patients' condition, or invasive. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a novel method for body water monitoring in patients with HF, and the value in prognosis has been proven in previous studies. We aim to determine the efficacy and safety of home BIA body water monitoring-guided HF treatment in patients with chronic HF. This multi-center, open-label, randomized control trial will enroll patients with HF who are taking loop diuretics. The home BIA group patients will be monitored for body water using a home BIA device and receive messages regarding their edema status and direction of additional diuretics usage or behavioral changes through the linked application system once weekly. The control group patients will receive the usual HF management. The primary endpoint is the change in N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide levels from baseline after 12 weeks. This trial will provide crucial evidence for patient management with a novel home BIA body water monitoring system in patients with HF.
