Abstract

The INCAS Project arises from the needs of an Italian oil company in order to support the doctors responsible for the healthcare in remote drilling sites. The INCAS telemedicine1 system implements a prototype of teleconsultation medical service allowing for the interactive on-line connection with Italian healthcare reference centres in order to:

• provide support to the expatriate doctor with the diagnoses and treatment of routine complaints;

• contribute to the general improvement of healthcare in remote areas.
