OBJECTIVE We report our experience with tele-echocardiography and echocardiograms recorded digitally or on videotape (recorded-echos) at The University of Arizona from August 2006 to December 2010 and compare their quality and diagnostic accuracy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tele-echocardiograms (tele-echos) were transmitted from the Yuma Regional Medical Center to The University of Arizona via a T...

We propose a new framework for Internet-based telepresence, in which the participants collaboratively experience and effect events at a remote site.. The system combines a remote agent (the “Tele-Actor”) with distributed audience control (the “Tele-Directors”). This framework allows the remote group of Tele-Directors not only to view but to vote on commands and thereby to participate in the Tel...

Su objetivo es el estudio de procesos que tienen restricción en tiempo para su ejecución y los cuales típicamente se asocian a dispositivos autónomos. En este laboratorio se usa la computadora para medir, observar, monitorear, controlar y optimizar procesos, así como el trabajo que tiene restricciones de tiempo para su finalización o ejecución. Incluye tele-monitoreo, tele-adquisición de datos ...

INTRODUCTION Telemedicine includes the use of information and communication technology for education in the health sector, tele-education. Sub-Saharan Africa has an extreme shortage of health professionals and as a result, doctors to teach doctors and students. Tele-education has the potential to provide access to education both formal and continuing medical education. While the uptake of telem...

OBJECTIVES A tele-intensive care unit (tele-ICU) uses telemedicine in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting, applying technology to provide care to critically ill patients by off-site clinical resources. The purpose of this review was to examine the implementation, adoption, and utilization of tele-ICU systems by hospitals to determine their efficiency and efficacy as identified by cost savings ...

We investigated sequence features of enhancers separated from their target gene by at least one intermediate gene/exon (named tele-enhancers in this study) and enhancers residing inside their target gene locus. In this study, we used whole genome enhancer maps and gene expression profiles to establish a large panel of tele-enhancers. By contrasting tele-enhancers to proximal enhancers targeting...

PURPOSE To design a "low-cost" tele-imaging method allowing real-time tele-ultrasound expertise, delayed tele-ultrasound diagnosis, and tele-radiology between remote peripherals hospitals and clinics (patient centers) and university hospital centers (expert center). MATERIALS AND METHODS A system of communication via internet (IP camera and remote access software) enabling transfer of ultraso...

Recently, tele-training has become a hot topic of research within the computer science research community. The computer industry is also interested in tele-training solutions. Distance education is seen by the computer industry as a new growing market and recently we witnessed a proliferation of the first generation of tele-training software packages. The extend to which tele-training systems m...

Changes in the telecommunications industry are now allowing support for cooperative provisioning of multimedia tele-services. This can provide a useful model for educational organizations to handle the inherent complexity of providing tele-educational courses while leaving them time to concentrate on pedagogical issues. The Prospect project is examining the provision and management of tele-educ...
