Case Report: Tele-Echo System: A Real-Time Telemedicine System Using Medical Ultrasound Image Sequence 病例报告:远程回声系统:利用医学超声图像序列的实时远程医疗系统
T. Umeda, A. Matani, O. Oshiro, K. Chihara
A new "Tele-Echo System" for real-time telediagnosis using medical ultrasound (US) image sequences on a public digital network has been implemented and evaluated. The Tele-Echo System compresses and transmits US image sequences in real-time using a network bandwidth up to 1.5 Mbps. This system compresses US image sequences with Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) compression algorithm and transmits with Internet protocol (IP) and user datagram protocol (UDP). Experiments were conducted on the Tele-Echo System for US image sequences of the heart. The transmitted US image sequences contained 9% root-mean-square-error (RMSE) and a 30-dB peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) when the size of images was 352 X 240 pixels, and the speed was about 27 frames per second. The experiments confirmed the clinical effectiveness of the Tele-Echo System for remote diagnosis. The transmission of US image sequences was conducted in a few seconds, and some contained noise. The "Tele-Echo System" enables real-time ultrasound imag...

The Effect of Home Monitoring and Telemanagement on Blood Pressure Control Among African Americans 家庭监测和远程管理对非裔美国人血压控制的影响
M. Bondmass, N. Bolger, Gerard Castro, B. Avitall
Hypertension is disproportionately prevalent among African Americans compared with other ethnic groups. Furthermore, research demonstrating effective management strategies for this group is limited. The objectives of this study were to determine: (1) compliance with home blood pressure monitoring among hypertensive African Americans, and (2) the effectiveness of telemanagement in blood pressure control within 1-3 months. Participants used a transtelephonic home monitor that transmitted their blood pressure daily via their existing telephone lines to a university server system. A one-group, pre-post design was used. The sample included 33 African Americans (age 51.5 ± 14.3, 70% female) with uncontrolled blood pressures despite pharmacological treatment for ≥ 1 year. Interventions were conducted over the phone, including patient education and medication titration congruent with JNC-VI guidelines. Daily data were transmitted by 88% of the sample; significant decreases (p ≤ 0.001) in mean systolic (154.1 ± 16...

Patient Satisfaction with Telemedicine 患者对远程医疗的满意度
S. Gustke, D. Balch, V. West, L. Rogers
The objective of this study was to evaluate patient satisfaction when telemedicine is used for clinical consultations. Patient satisfaction data from 495 real-time interactive telemedicine clinical consultations at the Telemedicine Center at East Carolina University School of Medicine in Greenville, NC were collected and evaluated. Patient satisfaction was examined in relation to patient age, gender, race, income, education, and insurance. Overall patient satisfaction was found to be 98.3%. Because so few patients were dissatisfied with their telemedicine consultation, correlation with the sociodemographic variables was limited. Patients are highly satisfied with consultations through telemedicine, and report that care was easier to obtain. The sample size in this study is larger than other reported telemedicine studies, but its findings are consistent with those of previous studies.

Communication: Telemedicine: A New Framework for Evaluation 通信:远程医疗:评估的新框架
B. Yawn
Recent strategies for evaluating telemedicine attempt to incorporate broad issues such as medical effectiveness, optimal strategies for blending face to face and telemedicine, the direct and indirect costs of telemedicine services, accessibility, and patient and provider satisfaction. To address these issues, a scheme of evaluating telemedicine for a series of medical conditions or diagnoses has been recommended. The primary problem with this evaluation scheme is the need to assess telemedicine for each condition in which its use is proposed. This paper suggests an alternative framework for evaluation based on the clinical tasks that a physician or other health care provider must do to assess, treat, and follow patients. These tasks, which are employed in the care of most conditions, include visual tasks, auditory tasks, and instrumentation and palpation tasks. For each clinical task, the technology requirements for tools and settings would first be established. The scope and limitation of the tools for t...

Behavioral Telemedicine: A New Approach to the Continuous Nonintrusive Monitoring of Activities of Daily Living 行为远程医疗:一种对日常生活活动进行持续非侵入性监测的新方法
A. Glascock, D. Kutzik
A fully automated, passively activated data-acquisition system was developed to allow routine, continuous, nonobtrusive monitoring of selected Activities of Daily Living/Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (ADL/IADLs) and the production of a behavioral record that could be subjected to trend analysis. The monitoring system uses "off-the-shelf" technology - standard heat, motion, vibration, and electric current sensors - to record the presence or absence of selected behavior and the time, date, duration and frequency of occurrence of sensor signals. Unlike other telemedicine and personal response system applications, this approach monitors strictly object-oriented behavioral indicators. Hence, the individual is not required to wear any special apparatus nor press buttons. The individual continues to undertake her/his normal activity as if the system were not in place. Objects in the environment, e.g., pill bottle, the refrigerator door, a kitchen cabinet, are electronically monitored, but not the indiv...

Clinical value of real-time tertiary fetal ultrasound consultation by telemedicine: preliminary evaluation. 远程医疗实时三次胎儿超声会诊的临床价值:初步评价。
F Y Chan, B Soong, K Lessing, D Watson, R Cincotta, S Baker, M Smith, E Green, J Whitehall

Congenital fetal abnormalities are major causes of perinatal mortality and morbidity. The performance of ultrasound in the diagnosis and assessment of fetal anomalies varies enormously between tertiary referral centers and general units. Telemedicine offers a chance for tertiary realtime ultrasound consultations using standard telephone lines for remote sites. Preliminary investigations by our group have shown that real-time transmission of fetal ultrasound images over long distances via telephone (integrated systems digital network [ISDN]) lines is technically feasible. A live link of up to 2 Mb/s was established between Mater Mothers Hospital in Brisbane and Kirwan Hospital for Women in Townsville, which are 1,500 km apart. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the clinical value of a tertiary teleultrasound consultation service. Patients requiring tertiary ultrasound consultations were recruited from North Queensland. Clinicians from the referral site established an initial diagnosis and management plan. Using standard ISDN lines, the real-time ultrasound images were transmitted to the maternal fetal medicine subspecialists in Brisbane. The ultrasound examination was completed under the direction of the subspecialist. The subspecialist explained the findings to the patient at the end of the session, and discussed the diagnosis and management plans with the clinicians involved. Any diagnosis and management variations were classified into minor and major upon agreement by the two teams of clinicians involved. The clinicians and patients in Townsville rated the value of the consultation, and the subspecialists rated the confidence of their diagnoses on five-point scales. Pregnancy outcomes were obtained and the data analyzed. Over a 3-month period, 24 teleultrasound consultations were carried out. The indications for referral were: assessment of growth restriction/fetal wellbeing in the third trimester (6); detailed assessment for high-risk patients (5); evaluation of markers for anomalies (5); isolated fetal anomalies (1); and complex fetal problems such as twin/twin transfusion, multiple anomalies, etc. (7). Overall, the consultations resulted in some modifications to the clinical diagnosis in 45.8% of the cases, and modifications to the management plan in 33.3% of the cases (about half of which were minor variations). The clinicians rated the teleconsultations highly (mean rating 4.7, SD 0.44). The patients also rated the consultations highly, and were comfortable that their privacy and confidentiality were maintained during the consultation. The subspecialists were confident in making their diagnoses by telemedicine (mean score for confidence 4.2, SD 0.43). All the pregnancies have now been completed, with all antenatal diagnoses confirmed to be correct postnatally.

先天性胎儿畸形是围产期死亡和发病的主要原因。超声在胎儿异常诊断和评估中的表现在三级转诊中心和普通单位之间差异很大。远程医疗为远程站点使用标准电话线进行三级实时超声咨询提供了机会。我们小组的初步调查表明,通过电话(综合系统数字网络[ISDN])线路远距离实时传输胎儿超声图像在技术上是可行的。在相距1 500公里的布里斯班Mater母亲医院和汤斯维尔Kirwan妇女医院之间建立了高达2 Mb/s的实时连接。本研究的目的是评估三级远程超声会诊服务的临床价值。需要三级超声咨询的患者来自北昆士兰。来自转诊地点的临床医生建立了初步诊断和管理计划。通过标准的ISDN线路,实时超声图像传输到布里斯班的母胎医学专科。超声检查在专科医生的指导下完成。亚专科医生在会议结束时向患者解释结果,并与相关临床医生讨论诊断和管理计划。任何诊断和管理的变化被分为轻微和主要的协议由两组临床医生参与。汤斯维尔的临床医生和病人给咨询的价值打分,专科医生用五分制给他们诊断的可信度打分。获得妊娠结局并对数据进行分析。在3个月期间,进行了24次远程超声会诊。转诊指征为:妊娠晚期生长受限/胎儿健康评估(6);高危患者的详细评估(5);异常标记的评价(5);孤立的胎儿异常(1);以及复杂的胎儿问题,如双胎/双胎输血、多发性异常等(7)。总体而言,咨询导致45.8%的病例对临床诊断进行了一些修改,33.3%的病例对管理计划进行了修改(其中约一半是轻微的变化)。临床医生对远程会诊的评价很高(平均评分4.7,标准差0.44)。患者对咨询的评价也很高,并且在咨询过程中保持了他们的隐私和机密性。亚专科医生对远程医疗诊断有信心(平均置信度评分4.2,标准差0.43)。现在所有的怀孕都完成了,所有的产前诊断都被证实是正确的。远程医疗三级实时超声会诊不仅在技术上可行,而且受到临床医生和患者的欢迎。这也导致了诊断和管理上的差异。需要更大规模的临床试验来评估所涉及的真正收益和成本。所有相关人员都充分认识到,缩小乡村和城市之间的医疗保健差距以及使偏远地区的患者在压力下与家人保持密切联系所带来的社会效益。

The performance of ultrasound in the diagnosis and assessment of fetal anomalies varies enormously between tertiary referral centers and general units. Telemedicine offers a chance for tertiary realtime ultrasound consultations using standard telephone lines for remote sites. Preliminary investigations by our group have shown that real-time transmission of fetal ultrasound images over long distances via telephone (integrated systems digital network [ISDN]) lines is technically feasible. A live link of up to 2 Mb/s was established between Mater Mothers Hospital in Brisbane and Kirwan Hospital for Women in Townsville, which are 1,500 km apart. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the clinical value of a tertiary teleultrasound consultation service. Patients requiring tertiary ultrasound consultations were recruited from North Queensland. Clinicians from the referral site established an initial diagnosis and management plan. Using standard ISDN lines, the real-time ultrasound images were transmitted to the maternal fetal medicine subspecialists in Brisbane. The ultrasound examination was completed under the direction of the subspecialist. The subspecialist explained the findings to the patient at the end of the session, and discussed the diagnosis and management plans with the clinicians involved. Any diagnosis and management variations were classified into minor and major upon agreement by the two teams of clinicians involved. The clinicians and patients in Townsville rated the value of the consultation, and the subspecialists rated the confidence of their diagnoses on five-point scales. Pregnancy outcomes were obtained and the data analyzed. Over a 3-month period, 24 teleultrasound consultations were carried out. The indications for referral were: assessment of growth restriction/fetal wellbeing in the third trimester (6); detailed assessment for high-risk patients (5); evaluation of markers for anomalies (5); isolated fetal anomalies (1); and complex fetal problems such as twin/twin transfusion, multiple anomalies, etc. (7). Overall, the consultations resulted in some modifications to the clinical diagnosis in 45.8% of the cases, and modifications to the management plan in 33.3% of the cases (about half of which were minor variations). The clinicians rated the teleconsultations highly (mean rating 4.7, SD 0.44). The patients also rated the consultations highly, and were comfortable that their privacy and confidentiality were maintained during the consultation. The subspecialists were confident in making their diagnoses by telemedicine (mean score for confidence 4.2, SD 0.43). All the pregnancies have now been completed, with all antenatal diagnoses confirmed to be correct postnatally.
