Background and aims: Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and 1% of the population is affected by this disorder. Long duration of therapy Education requires constant pursuit with modern techniques, such as tele nursing can be achieved it. This study was performed to access the Effect tele nursing on quality of life in patients with Atrial fibrillation Methods: Thi...

This study demonstrated a method to train medical students at Hanoi Medical School in airway management from Omaha, Nebraska, using tele-mentoring techniques. Correct placement of the endotracheal tube was documented by tele-broncoscopy following intubation. This technology may increase medical training capabilities in remote or developing areas of the world. Medical care delivery could be perf...

This paper discusses the state of the art in networking, and explains the way existing networks can support tele-education applications. Chapter 1 identifies which tele-education parameters have the biggest impact upon the underlying network, and proposes a classification of teleeducation applications. Chapter 2 discusses the various networks that are used for tele-education purposes: Local Are...

Teleoperation systems have been developed in order to allow a human operator to perform complex tasks in remote environments. Mobile robots can be considered as a particular example of telemanipulation systems, since they can be operated remotely to perform particular tasks. As an example, the inspection of underwater structures and the removal of mines are performed by mobile platforms control...

Background Initiation of an immuno-modulatory treatment is a vulnerable part the patient journey. Distance monitoring via reported outcomes (PROs) and wearables are used to assess efficacy. In combination with remote vital sign measurement tele-nursing, care may also increase safety save resources. However, it unclear how such telemedicine services integrate into clinical workflow. Objectives F...

The current paper presents techniques that facilitate mobile robots to be deployed as interactive agents in populated environments, such as museum exhibitions or trade shows. The mobile robots can be teleoperated over the Internet and this way provide remote access to distant users. Throughout this paper we describe several key techniques that have been developed in the context of relevant EU-I...

BACKGROUND The use of point-of-care ultrasonography (POC US) in paediatrics is increasing. This study investigated the diagnostic accuracy of POC US in children accessing the emergency department (ED) when performed by paediatricians under the remote guidance of radiologists (TELE POC). METHODS Children aged 0 to 18 years accessing the ED of a third level research hospital with eight possible...

The Guatemalan NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) TulaSalud has implemented an m-health project in the Department of Alta Verapaz. This Department has 1.2 million inhabitants (78% living in rural areas and 89% from indigenous communities) and in 2012, had a maternal mortality rate of 273 for every 100,000 live births. This m-health initiative is based on the provision of a cell phone to commun...

This work is part of a learning environment that has virtual laboratories are designed for distant practical (Tele-PW). In these environments, Tele-PW performed in two modes: individual and/or collaborative. this paper, we concentrating on the tele-collaborative model. The work, presented proposes an artificial agent called Synchronizer Coordinator Agent (SCA) to synchronize and coordinate acti...
