Ambient Assisted Living and Home Care

The goal of this paper is to present a distributed tool for the medical community. This tool is called VACODIS (VAscular COllaborative teleDIagnosiS) enables to identification and quantification of the potential cardiovascular complications of a patient in a semi-automatic way. The first step consists of producing an automatic detection of cardiovascular abnormalities from Echo-Doppler images. The second step shares in a collaborative and adaptive way images and results from the first step. This sharing eases a collaborative diagnosis. Thus, this method enables multiple distant hospital workers (nurses, practitioners . . . ) to contribute to a collaborative diagnosis in the cardiovascular domain.
