NEMESIS: a new telemedicine approach to cardiologic software

The present communication describes a telemedicine approach to a computer-aided healthcare system. 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, while telematic modules observe the ITU standards. The present application release offers one specific medical module, videoconference, electronic mail, remote control, electronic healthcare patient record retrieval and knowledge database access.
