Title
Wearable ultrasound device for ubiquitous medical care environments
Abstract
The daily medical check is effective to disease prevention. However, visiting a hospital puts a strain to the patients. To solve this problem, this paper proposes newly concept and device for telemedicine. The ubiquitous medical care environment is the concept of the advanced telemedicine system, which realizes the place- and time-independent medical care by dividing people (medical doctor, patient,… etc.). The wearable ultrasound device is a principal equipment of ubiquitous environment, which realize an echography anytime, anywhere. The prototype device is composed of an ultrasound measurement module, compact computer, and small LCD monitor. A proposed system was evaluated by image transmission experiments between prototype device and other computers. Experimental result shows much performance and effectiveness of proposed system.
