Mobile Telemedicine for Accident and Emergency Scenes in Tropical Regions
نویسنده
چکیده
A wireless communication system utilizing wideband point-to-point link is proposed in this paper. The system provides transmission of telemedicine information for an ambulance attending an accident or emergency scene where different types of information related to the patient can be received by the hospital prior to the patient's arrival so that necessary preparations can be made. The system's reliability is evaluated for operation in tropical regions where persistent heavy rainfall can severely affect availability of radio links at microwave frequencies. Key-Words: Modulation, rain attenuation, telemedicine, wireless networks
