BACKGROUND Infants who do not pass their newborn hearing screen require diagnostic follow-up visits but often face access barriers such as travel distance and shortage of pediatric audiologists. Telemedicine (tele-audiology) is a potential solution to provide diagnostic hearing evaluations for families of infants facing access barriers. We determined the feasibility and impact of a tele-audiolo...

The use of multimedia in telematics and new services has been greatly improved by the introduction of new systems and techniques. These new systems and techniques made the implementation of many telematic applications like tele-teaching, collaborative or tele-medicine applications possible. In this paper, we present design, protocols and implementation issues, which concern an Internet based sy...
