“…12 In some instances the guideline itself forms the basis of the technological intervention as part of a decision-making system for clinicians in primary care and other health care providers. 13,14 Asthma Asthma monitoring has been the focus of extensive research in the past decade. Many of these studies have focused on patient monitoring through the use of diary cards, 15 peak flow meters 16 and symptom scoring, 17 with the ultimate aim of improving patients' awareness and self management behaviour.…”

Introduction: Telemonitoring, telemedicine, clinical and medical informatics or telecare, are terms used to describe the use of technology along with local clinical protocols to monitor remotely a patient's medical condition in their own home. In respiratory medicine, where large numbers of people have long term conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the role of such monitoring technology in the management of patients is of great interest.

“…Recently advanced telecommunication devices have been applied in health care so rapidly and especially in respiratory field, home pulmonary function monitoring have shown a meaningful and cost-effective outcomes (16,17). In thoracic surgical area, internet-based digital drainage system will make rapid discharge and benefit in reducing cost possible.…”

Transforming medical imaging applications into collaborative PACS-based telemedical systems

One of the medical technologies distinguished for its clinical value is telemedicine.Telemedical systems provide healthcare services at any time and any where irrespective of geographical location. These systems are even more interesting when they provide collaboration among the users (e.g., teleconferencing). Nonetheless, all these systems are not practical for use in clinical workflow unless they are able to communicate with the Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). On the other hand, there are many medical imaging applications that are not developed as telemedical systems. A large number of them do not support collaboration and many do not communicate with the PACS and therefore cannot be directly used in clinical workflows.This thesis presents an approach based on a three-tier architecture. The architecture and the developed components within it transform medical imaging applications into collaborative, PACS-based, telemedical systems. As a result, current developed medical imaging applications that are not telemedical, do not support collaboration, and do not communicate with PACS, can be enhanced to support collaboration among a group of physicians, be accessed remotely, and be clinically useful.ii The main advantage of the proposed architecture is that it does not impose any modification to the current medical imaging applications and does not make any assumptions about the underlying architecture or operating system.
