TeleHealth: Healthcare technologies and TeleHealth Emergency (THE) system

India is one of the fast developing nations in the World. Healthcare is one of the factor which is considered for any developing nation. TeleHealth can partially fulfill this area of healthcare. TeleHealth and Telemedicine are broadly refer to healthcare services that provide medical information or healthcare across distances, providing patients with access to locally unavailable medical services or even substituting entirely for face-to-face contact with physicians in emergencies. Many writers prefer the term “TeleHealth” for broad applications such as education and dissemination of health information, and telemedicine for provision of medical services to patients. There are many healthcare technologies which have been implemented around the globe. Amongst these technologies, very few are used for an emergency case. In this paper we are going to introduce TeleHealth Emergency (THE) System which is not yet implemented anywhere which is based on Locate-Diagnose-Move technique. THE system is the collaboration of GSM/GPRS, GPS, sensors (wearable device) and P2P technology. This system is initially proposed for the emergency movement and diagnoses the roaming heart (Cardiac) patients as well as accidental victim. The main aim of THE system is to provide urgent provisional medication and movement of patient to the hospital which can save lives of many before the contact of expert doctors. This system can be implemented in urban areas of India immediately because of the availability of hospitals, health clinics, ambulances and specialist too.
