Description
Summary:Telemedicine is important technology for the health care. As the development of computer hardware, network environment is developing rapidly. The wireless internet access using mobile phone is natural in modern society. Hospital system is changing to digital environment. So compatible system is required using modern technologies between hospital and patients. In the case of the department of nuclear medicine, patient scheduling is very important work. Injection time, waiting time, and scanning time are different as a kindness of investigation. In this study, we proposed an automatic scheduling system using mobile programming techniques. Messages for reservation confirm, injection time, waiting time and scanning time were sent to patient using proposed system. And patient could check a progress state of patient themselves using mobile phone through internet. Proposed system will be a useful tool for patient scheduling in a department of nuclear medicine.
