DICOEMS: A Diagnosis Collaborative Environment for Medical Relevant Situations

Abstract

DICOEMS aims to deliver an eHealth platform that acquires and transfers critical information from the place where a medical emergency occurs to remotely located health specialists for immediate assistance. The system instantiates a portable collaboration environment that brings together the onthe- spot care provider and a network of experts, thus enabling more effective decision support and risk management in primary diagnosis, pre-transfer arrangements and treatment of critical situations.
