Introduction
The aim of our study was to assess telemedicine acceptance by respiratory healthcare professionals using the technology acceptance model questionnaire, which analyses perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and intention to use a technology.
Methods
We invited all members of the Spanish Respiratory Society to answer a survey based on the technology acceptance model through their web page. The survey was anonymous and optional.
Results
A total of 349 questionnaires were received. Mean age was 46 years old and 59% did not have previous experience with telemedicine programs. Resistance factors to the use of telemedicine were: “I would find it easy to get TLM to do what I want it to do” (41.2%), “I have the intention to use TLM regularly with my patients” (33.2%) and “Using TLM would make it easier to do my job” (31.3%).
Discussion
According to our results, global satisfaction of health professionals with TLM programs is high and influenced by age and previous experience. We detected three main “resistance factors” related to technical issues of the system and the technical capabilities of healthcare professionals (items PEOU-2, IU-3 and PU-5).
Conclusions
Healthcare professionals acceptance of telemedicine programs constitutes the main factor for its diffusion. Intention to use is highly related to the need of specific training programs.

L’objectif de notre étude était d’évaluer l’acceptation de la télémédecine par les professionnels de la santé respiratoire en utilisant le questionnaire du modèle d’acceptation de la technologie, qui analyse la facilité d’utilisation perçue, l’utilité perçue et l’intention d’utiliser une technologie.
Matériels et méthodes
Nous avons invité tous les membres de la Société respiratoire espagnole à répondre à un sondage basé sur le modèle d’acceptation technologique à travers leur page Web. L’enquête était anonyme et facultative.
Résultats
Au total, 349 questionnaires ont été reçus. L’âge moyen était de 46 ans et 59 % n’avaient pas d’expérience préalable avec les programmes de télémédecine. Les facteurs de résistance à l’utilisation de la télémédecine étaient les suivants : « Je trouverais cela facile de faire en sorte que la TLM fasse ce que je veux » (41,2 %), « j’ai l’intention d’utiliser la TLM régulièrement avec mes patients » (33,2 %) et « L’utilisation de la TLM faciliterait mon travail » (31,3 %).
Discussion
Selon nos résultats, la satisfaction globale des professionnels de la santé avec les programmes de TLM est élevée et influencée par l’âge et l’expérience antérieure. Nous avons détecté trois principaux « facteurs de résistance » liés aux problèmes techniques du système et aux capacités techniques des professionnels de la santé (articles PEOU-2, IU-3

Introduction
In the past decades, telemedicine has attracted much attention due to its usefulness for delivering medical services from remote location. One of the most important parts of telemedicine is telesurgery, in which a surgeon performs surgery on the patient from remote location by using telecommunication networks. Due to the surgeon needs to watch the patient side transmitted video with high quality; it is necessary to provide fast and suitable communication path between the surgeon and patient. Emerging Software Defined Network (SDN) as a new network paradigm facilitated Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning in many applications. Decoupling data plane from control plane in SDN, helps to manage based on end users requirements. This paper proposes a new heuristic traffic engineering method for telesurgery application using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm.
Patients and methods
This paper models QoS provisioning in Telesurgery as a Constraint Shortest Path (CSP) linear programming problem. Moreover, due to NP-completeness of CSP problem, this paper proposes a solver method using ACO algorithm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper which investigates QoS provisioning for telesurgery in SDN.
Results
Results of performance evaluation showed that the proposed method is better than baseline method. The proposed method improves all three important QoS parameters, average End-to-End delay, packet loss ratio and PSNR with values of 56.3%, 50.5% and 1.33, respectively.
Discussion
providing QoS in telesurgery applications is one of the most challenging issues. By leveraging the capability of SDN, we can develop appropriate mechanisms to guarantee QoS requirements in critical applications such as Telesurgery.
Conclusion
Using SDN together with optimization models such as CSP for providing QoS in Telesurgery can improve the quality of the received video in an operation room. This mechanism causes increment in the performance of Telesurgery.
