Abstract :
Describes an endoscopic database network system using intranet technology that is being developed for electronically managing integrated medical records of patients in a special procedures clinic such as an endoscopy center. Features such as image capture and voice activation are incorporated into the system to facilitate real-time operation during clinical procedures. A prototype network has been set up, and the results support the feasibility of the proposed approach. It is envisioned that the proposed approach will enable medical professionals to use a clinical information network to achieve intra-networking as well as telemedicine and teleconsultation
