“…The OTELO project, developed by multiple partners within the European Union, utilized similar rotational mechanisms from the previous ESAfunded projects but added additional active translational axes to the design. The emphasis was on light weight and portability when used for general ultrasound examination [13,14]. The research with this 6-DOF robot included a wide range of topics, such as teleoperation, kinematics, automatic control laws, and ergonomic control.…”

The development of robotic-assisted extracorporeal ultrasound systems has a long history and a number of projects have been proposed since the 1990s focusing on different technical aspects. These aim to resolve the deficiencies of on-site manual manipulation of hand-held ultrasound probes. This paper presents the recent ongoing developments of a series of bespoke robotic systems, including both single-arm and dual-arm versions, for a project known as intelligent Fetal Imaging and Diagnosis (iFIND). After a brief review of the development history of the extracorporeal ultrasound robotic system used for fetal and abdominal examinations, the specific aim of the iFIND robots, the design evolution, the implementation details of each version, and the initial clin ical feedback of the iFIND robot series are presented. Based on the preliminary testing of these newly-proposed robots on 42 volunteers, the successful and reliable working of the mechatronic systems were validated. Analysis of a participant questionnaire indicates a comfortable scanning experience for the volunteers and a good acceptance rate to being scanned by the robots.

“…Similarly, the transmission of echography video in teleradiology for various organs using satellite connections has been proven feasible and successful in numerous cases [59,63]. Early security concerns are currently been addressed, and successful secure e-health applications are rapidly becoming commercialized, with many well-known health and IT vendors appearing in the marketplace.…”

“…We do note, however, that a significant number of studies using satellite links were published prior to these studies (not reported here). The applications found here mostly concerned the transmission of ultrasound video [62][63][64]. Two of the papers [63, 641 also included the use of a robotic mechanism in order to remotely control the ultrasound acquisition, as described above in the section on 3G networks, while the other two papers [47,65] concerned the transmission of bio-signals and images for emergency cases.…”

“…Due to the high-bandwidth requirements, image-and videocompression methods will continue to play an important role in future, real-time collaborative environments [49,63]. At the most hasic level, medical image-quality assessment is an important area of future research (see http://live.ece.utexas.edu/research/Quality/ index.htm).…”

Rapid advances in wireless communications and networking technologies, linked with advances in computing and medical technologies, facilitate the development and offering of emerging mobile systems and services in the healthcare sector. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the current status and challenges of mobile health systems (in-health) in emergency healthcare systems and services (e-emergency). The paper covers a review of recent e-emergency systems, including the wireless technologies used, as well as the data transmitted (electronic patient record, bio-signals, medical images and video, subject video, and other). Furthermore, emerging wireless video systems for reliable communications in these applications are presented. We anticipate that in-health e-emergency systems will significantly affect the delivery of healthcare; however, their exploitation in daily practice still remains to be achieved.
