The system design goal is to provide patient monitoring during the prehospital transport and to offer health services, for people who lives in underserved areas. Therefore, medical information transmission becomes very crucial, since there is no a transmission link stability guarantee. To deal with this issue, multi communication links, which including VHF radio, internet, GSM/CDMA mobile phones, and GPRS are applied for the system. Selection of the communication links depends on the availability of the local communication infrastructure. To implement the system functions, a functional unit called a telemedicine arbiter is being designed. This unit consists of a medical information concentrator module and a communication manager module. Communication link selection scheme is developed based on the result of the signal quality survey in a target location. To provide the scheme, a dedicated software is developed. Currently, the research is focused on the development of a software for data transaction which is based on a clientserver model. Moreover, an enhancement of the telemedicine arbiter unit is also being conducted. Finally, a number of test fields to transmit medical information has been implemented as well. The results are promising, although some improvements are still required, in particular to alleviate a problem in no signals coverage areas.[/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]Client-server models,Communication manager,Concentrator modules,Local communications,Medical information,Mobile telemedicine system,System design goals,Urban and rural areas[/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]Medical information transmission,Mobile telemedicine system,Multi communication links,Selection of communication links,Telemedicine arbiter[/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]https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-68017-8_166[/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]
