Abstract

This paper presents a technological solution with the purpose of collaborative medical image visualization with support of decision in telemedicine environments. A fully web-based modular platform was developed which contains visualization, marking and manipulation synchronized between multiple users with communication established through video call or text chat. Pure HTML5 was used ensuring the portability of the tool, meaning that any device with a modern web browser and internet connection can access it. Finally, the platform usability is confirmed by the excellent score resulted from a System Usability Scale evaluation.
