With the development of telecommunications and information technology, there are new opportunities for equal access to medical services, in particular, the diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Telemedicine systems are used not only to use your considerable distance from each other, but also in areas of one hospital or clinic. The use of communication technologies is wired and wireless. This paper presents the fundamental aspects of the design, implementation and operation of telemedicine through internet. In particular, the PH-net is discussed as an example of practical implementation.

The development of telecommunication and information technologies Allows easy access to medical services for the general public. It concerns diagnosis, therapy and prevention in particular. Telemedicine systems find applications not only for People that live over a wide area but for Patients and doctors in a single hospital too. In the paper, basic aspects of projects, initiation and utilization of Telemedicine systems are presented. In particular, the PH-net system as a practical example is discussed. The technical issues are discussed in the paper what problems patient might face in telemedicine and how they are affected with the technical problems. There are experiences of the patients that have faced different problems regarding telemedicine. Telemedicine has been an emerging phenomenon; however, it has come up with certain challenges that have to be addressed.

Caring for patients with brain or in a vegetative state, it is not a simple thing. There is a requirement for ongoing and requires qualified personnel trained in the daily care as well as for emergency. Hospitals that hold these patients; perhaps because of an accident or stroke do not guarantee long-term care and the only alternatives are unfortunately hospices that are not properly structured. Telemedicine becomes a fundamental means of support for military personnel, which overcomes geographical barriers as well as economic ones: the crisis in this sense is felt by the local health authorities that pay social cooperatives involved in assistance for patients and families. For this reason that the project was born the remote in support of families and caregivers as well as those who are in a vegetative state.

The scientific committee selected 10 patients from five provinces bells on the basis of predetermined criteria. We are ready to activate all stations already home these days. They allow a network connection (via personal computers, ADSL, video and a software) with a central server and continuous monitoring, 24 hours on 24, any requests for immediate relief, all in close liaison with the call center identified by the association. A team of experts will monitor, at a distance basic vital ...
