Evaluation of the low cost telemedicine system in Taiwan

A low cost telemedicine system which constructed with inexpensive, commercially available parts and used ADSL network was developed for tele-consultation. This system enhanced the acceptability of the healthcare services for the mountainous region and redeem the lack of medicine man power in such area. The preliminary results from several medical centers and local hospital show that this telemedicine system can meet the requirement of telemedicine uses.
