SIMULATING A REAL TIME INTERACTIVE TELEMEDICINE IN A TYPICAL NIGERIAN HOSPITAL

Abstract

Telemedicine involves the provision of health care and sharing of medical knowledge using telecommunications technologies. Diagnostic, patient education health can be provided via telemedicine. Due to the shortage of medical experts, hospitals coupled with geographic isolation and lack of opportunities, delay in the system, and cost of transportation, it important to develop a robust system that will improve and change the present state of health care and delivery services. In this research work, interactive service telemedicine is designed to provide tools for overcoming the unequal distribution of health care. The proposed system also provides opportunities for patients to gain easy access to medical personnel. The methodology used for this research work is the Dynamic System Development Method (DSDM). As a result of this research medical personnel, have real homes. Telemedicine is the future of health care.
