Technical problems are inherent to telemedicine. Not only does the practical development and application of telemedicine depend on computing and networking techniques, but many ethical, social, and political problems arising in telemedicine need technical solutions as well. Mobile Telemedicine addresses such problems in detail, including video and audio compression and transmission, robotics, networking, security, and privacy. It explores patient and health care provider interactions with network systems, remote consultation challenges, wireless sensors in telemedicine, application protocols, as well as network and system solutions for hospital and emergency room monitoring.
