Wireless Mobile Application for Intensive Care in
Emergencies and Home Care
  • The Edumed InstituteCenter for Information
    Technology in Health and Telemedicine

2
Project Aims
  • To develop a portable, battery-operated
    telemedicine unit using voice and data
    communication over wireless links
  • To test its feasibility and usage model in
    emergency care, home care and family health
    programs
  • To integrate and put to market a viable product
    with significant volumes.
