Description
Summary:This paper aims at investigating the integrated satellite/terrestrial interactive e-health system, which has been developed within the framework of the European Space Agency (ESA) project TElemedicine Services for HEALTH (TESHEALTH) in collaboration among industry, academia, and hospitals. The implementation of a secure, scalable and flexible heterogeneous network capable of providing the appropriate infrastructure, is analysed, focusing on the end to end QoS solution, that satisfies the quality level required by the telemedicine applications. Moreover the developed interactive Service Platform, which aims at sharing health information among the different applications and services (Self-Care and Assisted Services) and includes realtime audio and video interactions among patients, specialists and health service providers, is described.
