Secure , And Multi Language Medical Communication System

Herein, theory of and practical experiences with the user friendly, Medical Electronic Expert Consultation System (MECES, www.diagnomx.eu) are described. Theoretical considerations: The demands of an adequate communication system that acquires and transfers medical information can be fulfilled by use of open access sources and tools. Development and implementation: MECES uses a common forum framework. Implemented tools include handling of virtual slides, interactive image magnification and navigation, private data protection, creation of medical reports, mobile access, on-line discussions, and automated multi-language translation. Experiences: The system has been tested for over 100 cases, between developing and developed countries, and private practices. It is a multi functional tool applicable for different medical tasks, and for teaching or continuous education. Perspectives: At present MECES is a high performance medical communication system. In future it will be expanded with our general medical information systems (ELIAS, Electronic Information Archiving System), with automated measurement system (EAMUSTM), and automated diagnosis assistant system (ADIAS).!
