ABSTRACT
One of the main problems in m-Health is how to effectively utilize the mobile telecommunications capabilities that are now nearly universally available. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate a multi-channel m-Health system with a Bluetooth connection that is based on the general packet radio service (GPRS). The goal here is to create a system that uses a smart telephone on a commercially GPRS network to send a patient’s biological signals immediately to a hospital. To observe and handle health information, the system is coupled with client computer applications. The telemedicine session is handled by an application server, which also controls the client request message from a distant patient. All diagnostic information transferred during a telemedicine session, along with patient identification and telemedicine conversation detailed information, is saved in a database for later analysis. Clinicians can obtain these data as needed by using browser applications to query the repository.
