Case Study |
|
|
Technology made it simple to
connect two distant centers to each other, either through ISDN
lines or through Satellite. For
ISDN connectivity, both centers apply to the local
telephone exchange, which provides the required cabling to
enable videoconferencing with a bandwidth
of 128 kbps. |
|
However, the image quality and
resolutions largely improve if there is a higher bandwidth. This
was made possible through V-Sat, which can provide bandwidths of
384 kbps, making it easy to transfer images in real-time and of
superior quality. With the active support of ISRO and personal initiative of
Ex-Chairman, Dr. K. Kasturirangan,
Satellite connectivity was provided at our Bangalore hospital, at
RTIICS, and Udaipur, Tripura. Large satellite dishes were installed
at strategic locations at these centers, enhancing the entire
process of sending and receiving medical data and images and
providing crystal-clear videoconferencing. |

|
Specialized hardware and software
was installed at all the Telemedicine centers, for eg.
Scanner, Online
ECG machine, Computer,
Videoconferencing Camera and
Television etc. All kinds of images
could now be transferred through these equipment. Even Angiogram
films, which are moving images, could be transferred in a matter of
a few minutes. A positive outcome of so many Telemedicine players
coming into the field has been the lowering of the costs of these
equipment, because the entire project has to be self-sustainable.
Even the connectivity providers are working at solutions to make the
facility more affordable. |
