Abstract
In this paper we have developed a Telemedicine
model with portable tool kit for remote patients to collect vital
signs of patients which are used for Telemedicine services. This
developed system is low cost, portable, and easily maintainable
and can be integrated with any complex health system. We have
used the GNU health where local doctors can communicate with
a low cost terminal. Expert doctors can also take part through
this terminal and deliver treatment to the patients. The patient’s
medical history is stored in GNU health database and accessed
from the remote terminal. We have successfully designed the
system and collected the patient's data. Through our developed
android apps, the data will be stored in the staging server. From
the staging server, any health system can collect the data and give
the services to the rural people. Finally we can conclude that,
Telemedicine service can be given effectively by using our
portable tool kit in a cost effective manner which improves the
quality and accessibility especially in rural areas.
