Abstract :
We have proposed some techniques for mobile telemedicine and have verified their practical feasibility in experiments. This article presents technical considerations required to realize a practical mobile telemedicine system, techniques developed for multiple medical data transmission, and the satisfactory results of their applications to telemedicine in moving vehicles
