Telemedicine system based on Delay Tolerant Network

The exchange of medical information between rural areas with urban areas still hampered by the network infrastructure and communication systems that have not been adequate. With the rate of development of communication technology is very rapid, there are still rural areas unreached by the Internet. The mechanism of communication in rural areas that have not been connected to the Internet, can be bridged with the Delay Tolerant Network protocol. This means that, the communication occurs between DTN and Internet networks. DTN is a protocol which tolerant to unavailable end-to-end link, temporary connection with a high level of latency, nodes that rarely connected, and often susceptible to interferences. Medical consultation in komed-kampoeng.net system is a media communication and data exchange. The service in this system involves discussion and diagnosis among general practitioners in rural area at community health centres and medical specialists in urban hospitals. The development of telemedicine system based on DTN refers to store and forward data using email system in DTN.
