Abstract
This paper discusses social impacts on our design project for a remote-control slit lamp microscope system to support telemedicine. The system realizes real-time teleophthalmology by remote control of a slit lamp microscope from a remote site. The project is an attempt to address regional problems related to local shortages of medical doctors. It is also a case study of the development and deployment of a telemedicine system through human-centered design approaches.
