Sumiati, Haris Triono Sigit, Kusprianto, Hasballah . Telemedicine System for Electrocardiogram to Improve Public Health Services. International Journal of Computer Applications. 176, 6 ( Oct 2017), 8-13. DOI=10.5120/ijca2017915625
This study was aimed to create a Telemedicine System for Electrocardiogram Medical Records to improve public health. Issues of public health in remote areas include lack of transport infrastructures, facilities, lack of medical experts, and limited means of communication, leading to slow treatment for patients. Meanwhile, heart diseases killed thousands of people in the world. To improve the quality of and spreading health services provided by public health services and hospitals, a breakthrough and innovation are required. There should be a type of health service and service facility available in all areas, including remote areas, which is easily accessible by everyone. Telemedicine system is a primary solution which can be applied for those who live in remote areas. Telemedicine is an application of clinical medication which uses telephone, internet, and other communication networks to transfer medical information. By this transfer, medical information can be used for health consultation and sometimes for remote medical procedures. The Telemedicine system is beneficial for people who live in remote areas or distant locations.
