Biomedical Image Compression Techniques for Clinical Image Processing

Currently, telehealth services in rural regions of Peru primarily rely on telephone and text message communication between rural physicians and specialists based in cities, leading to delays in accessing specialized healthcare services. To overcome this limitation, we propose an information and communication technology (ICT) model for asynchronous teleconsultation in rural areas of Peru. This model, implemented through a system called SITEA, coordinates city-based specialists with treating physicians in rural areas and integrates care phases along with electronic clinical records. A case study conducted in a rural Peruvian healthcare facility, which had limited Internet connectivity and lacked teleconsultation services, revealed significant outcomes. Within 23 days of implementing SITEA, the facility began offering specialized care services, leading to a 60% reduction in patient transfers to specialized urban healthcare facilities. Furthermore, a satisfaction survey conducted with 50 patients resulted in overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding the quality of medical care and future expectations for healthcare services. These positive outcomes can be attributed to the implementation of specialized services, the shift from physical to electronic records, and improved diagnostic accuracy. Importantly, healthcare personnel found the system easy to navigate and highly beneficial, despite the area’s connectivity limitations.

“…Such potential risks are built into the architecture of the system. These risks can be divided into several subcategories, including level of data gathering [8][9][10], level of transmission level [11][12][13][14], and level of storage [15,16], all of which are discussed in greater detail in Section 3. Some consumers are hesitant to use such technologies because of the concerns to the confidentiality and protection of EHR data.…”

A Novel Methodology for Providing Security in Electronic Health Record Using Fuzzy Based Multi Agent System

<p class="0abstract">Privacy and security are crucial when it comes to the implementation of Electronic Healthcare Records (HER). Whenever a patient visits a doctor, their health records are updated since it consists of vital information on the patient's health and well-being. It also comprises of description about the previous and current treatment quality.Multi-Agent Systems can support E-Healthcare applications for improving quality of life. The availability and use of extensive systems for EHR has increased dramatically. The EHR technology currently available consists of health information of various patients which helps those people to monitor their health. These information should be protected from being altered or mishandled. Various studies have been conducted in the past literature to improve the protection and privacy requirements in E-health services. Despite this, it hasn't been entirely improved. This article proposes a Fuzzy based multi-agent system architecture that uses agents and fuzzy logic to monitor the flow and access of the EHR record using fuzzy logic and multi agents. Architecture comprises of multi agent and fuzzy systems are proposed. In this system, we have employed Action/ Computation (Interface) agent, communication interface agent and verification agent and Communication Module Agent. These agents collaboratively worked one another in order to obtain the desired output. These agent based e-health system can increase the accuracy of data transfer by providing additional security in selecting the user who handles the data. It also monitors the communication between different medical units in the health system.</p>

“…In Peru, visual diseases are part of the cause of the second disability with the highest percentage of cases, according to data reported by the Ministry of Health (MINSA) and the WHO. As for the reasons for visual impairment increase, 76% result from lack of treatment or early detection of eye diseases that, in most cases, are treatable [4].…”

Expert Web System: Diagnosis of Visual Diseases

Sight is one of the senses with the greatest sup- port for our daily life because the brain receives 80% of the information visually. However, it is one of the most neglected senses in Latin America, mainly in Peru. This is because since that in this country the sense of sight is related to the second disability with the highest percentage. Thus, 76% of the visually impaired population lost their sight due to lack of treatment or lack of early detection of any visual disease. For this reason, the present research work originated, which has the purpose of designing and implementing an expert web system oriented to the welfare of the vulnerable population regarding visual diseases and the care of the sense of sight. Therefore, the Buchanan methodology was used for the development of this project, which contains 5 phases of development and planning. This methodology allowed the identification of viable requirements for the expert web system, as well as the study of detailed solutions and design. Thus, it allowed the development of an expert web system that complies with the eye care, through early diagnosis. Finally, as a result of the present research work, it was obtained that the expert web system meets 88% of satisfaction, the value obtained through a questionnaire to a sample of 60 people, including patients and specialists of the company called MK Optical Center.
