Abstract

The use of mobile computers improves health care delivery by allowing the medical staff to access important patient information during visits to the patient bedside or in emergency situations. This paper presents a software technology in which the medical and nursing staff will be equipped with handheld computers connected via radio to a central server that provides access to the patients' data and actively informs about pending task distributions. The server works as a database for DICOM compliant information, ranging from patient's computerized tomography (CT), ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance (MR) images to medical findings, observations and prescriptions stored in DICOM Structured Report standard. The server prototype developed makes the search and recovery of these DICOM archives possible through a local wireless network and a personal digital assistant (PDA)-compatible graphical user interface (GUI).
