A teleconferencing system.

Abstract

Training of health professionals commonly involves multiple sites in order to best utilize the available clinical material. However, this makes it difficult to achieve continuity in the presentation of didactic material. We have installed a teleconferencing system using high speed switching Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) for transmission of audio, video and digital images. We aimed to emulate the ambience of a classroom at three sites in the training program. We are now in the first of a four phase evaluation trial with US West. Experience with implementing a new teleconferencing system using ATM switching is described.

Wireless connectivity for health and sports monitoring: a review.

This is a review of health and sports monitoring research that uses or could benefit from wireless connectivity. New, enabling wireless connectivity standards are evaluated for their suitability, and an assessment of current exploitation of these technologies is summarised. An example of the application is given, highlighting the capabilities of a network of wireless sensors. Issues of timing and power consumption in a battery-powered system are addressed to highlight the benefits networking can provide, and a suggestion of how monitoring different biometric signals might allow one to gain additional information about an athlete or patient is made.
