چکیده
In recent years, the shortage of medical specialists and access to medical information has necessitated a growing interest for cost effective and efficient telemedicine tools for healthcare delivery. Mobile telemedicine applications are aimed at meeting the mobility requirements of patients and doctors by integrating wireless communications for different health care services and education.Although, telemedicine holds great promises in enhancing health care delivery in rural area and developing countries, only a few applications exist because of poor frameworks for their deployments. This paper, aims at providing a deployable framework for Mobile Telemedicine Applications for Tropical Diseases (MTATD).MTATD presented here, provides access to a telemedicine unit via hand held devices over a PSTN/GSM and the Internet for a collaborative health care delivery and education between patients and care providers.
