PDA Based Telemedicine System in a Web Based Environment

updation of the same at the point of patient care is of immense importance. Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) can be a promising information delivery tool to achieve this. We have developed a wireless telemedicine system, which supports medical data access using PDA. The system uses the database of Web Based TelemediK System (developed at IIT Kharagpur). This paper describes the system architecture of the wireless telemedicine system, its features and the result of an experiment where the usability of the proposed PDA based system is tested and compared with the Web Based TelemediK System in a desktop environment. Keywords- PDA, Web Based, Telemedicine, Usability Study.
