The system consists of a mobile telemedicine unit which is realized as a portable telemedicine unit. The unit may be placed in an ambulance or at community health centres. Conjunction with the mobile telemedicine unit is a base unit that can be located in a refferal hospital. The developed prototype is focused to be applied for reducing Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in rural areas of Indonesia. Health services which can be operated on the system are patient’s data recording and reporting, teleconsultation, telediagnostic and tele-education. To overcome transmission link stability problem in rural areas, multi communication links is employed to support data transmission. User can transmit data via GSM, CDMA, VHF radio, or internet. While the patient’s vital signs that can be monitored are ECG, BP, FHR, and temperature. The system has been technically tested. The results are very promising. The next step is to set up a testbed that covers community health centres in Sukabumi areas, and to operate the system for emergency situation in an ambulance. Evaluation of the system will be focused on scenarios application, and clinical test.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Base unit,Clinical tests,Community health centres,Data transmissions,Emergency situations,Health services,Indonesia,Maternal mortalities,MMR,Mobile telemedicine systems,Mobile telemedicine unit,Multi communication links,Tele educations,Teleconsultation,Test beds,Transmission links,Transmit datum,Vital signs[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Base unit,MMR,Mobile telemedicine unit,Multi communication links,Rural area[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
