Nemesis

Resumen del Libro

This thesis describes a telemedicine approach to a computer-aided healthcare system. NEMESIS is the Spanish acronym of New Electrocardiographic Medical Station with Information Systems. The application is a comprehensive tool set, structured around a main navigation bar, which leads to every sub-application. Those sub-applications are window based, user-friendly tools, comprising specific health tools for physicians, telemedicine/telematics tools and general-purpose tools. The whole application is built in a highly structured and modular way, which allows adding or excluding modules quickly. Portability is guaranteed and achieved by Java programming language, bringing independent platform software. All modules comply with international standards, namely, medical modules comply with European CEN TC 251 approved standards, since telematic modules observe the ITU standards. The present application release offers a specific medical module (for cardiology), videoconference, electronic mail, remote control, electronic healthcare patient record retrieval and knowledge database access. The prototype application is running at the Cardiology Service of the Hospital Clínico Universitario of Valencia, waiting for physicians to evaluate the usability, utility and functionality of the software. Esta tesis describe una aplicación de telemedicina desarrollada en la Universidad de Valencia. NÉMESIS es el acrónimo de Nueva Estación Médica con Servicios de Información Secundarios. La aplicación, producto de un tesis doctoral, aprovecha la reciente ubicuidad de redes telmática de fácil acceso y bajo coste para ofrecer herramientas de telemedicina. Parte de una barra de herramientas que aglutina y da acceso a los demás módulos de cardiología o telemedicina existentes. La aplicación se ha desarrollado en Java, tanto por su orientación a redes como por su portabilidad, cuidando además de respetar una estricta modularidad para garantizar la versatilidad de la aplicación….
