Pervasive Telemedicine System

The Pervasive Telemedicine System focuses on providing medical support to the Pace community at remote campus locations. The nursing school is situated at Pleasantville and Pace has campuses at New York City, Briarcliff, and White Plains. This system proposes to establish the capability for users at the above locations to communicate with the nursing school over a network. The system will be able to provide a remote login for the patient and a local login to the nurse. It will launch a videoconferencing session on both locations, gather necessary consultation information from the patient and transmit the diagnosis of the nurse. The purpose of this system is to build a cost effective system for Pace University utilizing the technology that already exists and provide better care to the Pace community overall. In this paper we provide an insight to some similar telemedicine systems that were initiated in other Universities and are being used to provide healthcare to surrounding areas of the University. We provide detailed comparisons and contrast our system to the existing successful systems. We suggest further scope and management of the project.
