Modern information and telecommunication systems for medical purposes

Abstract

The analysis and classification of modern information and telecommunication systems (ITS) for medical purposes were carried out. Historically established areas of application of medical telecommunication systems were distinguished. Classes of communication and data related to modern medical telecommunication systems were analysed. The role of standards and protocols for data transmission in the process of interaction between the hardware and software components of medical ITSs was defined. Standards for transmitting various types of information were listed; the exploration of the standards for telemedicine information transmission was carried out. Various structural-logical schemes of medical ITSs implementation were illustrated; components of the schemes were reviewed. The importance of development and implementation of a unified interaction model for various medical ITS components, that will allow adapting to extreme characteristics of data transmission physical environment, was figured out.
