Abstract
In current stage, people must follow certain procedure while seeking medical advice. Although the registration services are now getting popular in the cyberspace, it still consume a lot of time for the patients to get the medical advices. This is born greatly for the patients who need the long term medical services. To provide more immediate and more efficient care services to the patients, this study aim for designing and implementing a practical video-based telecare system which immediately and faithfully exchange the video/audio information between the patients and the medical services providers.ince the video conference systems in the market do not satisfy the needs for common medical services, this study enhances the video surveillance services proposed by the Dynamas Technology to provide a communication platform for the common medical services. The video surveillance system of the Dynamas Technology has provided several fundamental functions for the medical consultations such as the realtime audio/video communication services, basic pan-tilt-zoom camera control functions and distributed data maintenances services. According to the comments from the domain experts, this study improves the Dynamas Technology’s solution as follow. First, the pan-tile-zoom camera control functions are further improved by providing more concrete control functions. Second, the proposed system introduces the broadcaster in the network to loosen the bandwidth restriction for multi-users video conference services. Besides, a video/audio auto-scheduling mechanism is proposed to ensure the conference quality in congested network scenario. Third, in addition to video and audio services, an electronic white board service is introduced to make the proposed system platform friendlier.
