Abstract

A mobile telemedicine system was designed, implemented, and tested for en route neurological examinations which required evaluation of facial expressions and movement of arms and legs. The system uses multiple public wireless cellular phones to transmit video and patient biosignals from a moving ambulance and delivers to the desktop computer of the receiving physician. Tests and questionnaires completed by users indicated that it conveyed critical clinical information and it was adequate for conducting clinical examinations.
