Abdominal Emergency Medicine and Information System-Transporting a Patient by Image Transmission Using E-mail from a Remote Area and as Telemedicine Image Transmission Using Digital Cellular Phone from Ambulance

Abstract

It is important to link up with distant health communityies in emergency medicine. We decided to transport a patient with an epidural abscess from a remote area by image transmission using E-mail. E-mail is independent of time and area. We established mobile telemedicine via image transmission using digital cellular phone from an ambulance. This is useful for prediction of patient status.
