Abstract :
We have designed and tested a radio communication monitoring system to support disaster medicine. It is hoped that it would be very useful to monitor a walkie-talkie of a fire-fighter personnel or fire radio equipped ambulance over Internet protocol (IP). It may be also helpful for medical treatment during a disaster in the case of terrorism. We can make a plan immediately to handle such kind of problems. This system is also called Web radio system. In June 1994 the cult Aum was more successful in its attempts to use chemical agents in Japan. Since ordinary medical Institutes did not have knowledge about sarin those days suitable treatment not be done by medical centers etc. And there were lots of more difficulties in medicine field so we research and introduced this IP system, to meet telemedicine requirements.
