The data thus uploaded would operate through the Internet or cell phone, and allow a remote doctor to give local healthcare workers valuable advice on what the patient requires.

Finally, the researchers talked about a subsystem that uses a network of sensors to monitor the progress of a drip infusion, and notify nursing staff of further requirements, which could then be passed on to a local carer.

They, however, concede that several technical aspects need due attention before such a remote medical care approach becomes workable—such as improvements in delays and throughput of video transfer during communications, diagnosis accuracy of the doctor agent, and the prediction accuracy of the drip infusion finishing time.

The team wrote about their approach in the International Journal of Web and Grid Services from Inderscience Publishers.
