ABSTRACT
The proposed system is an intelligent, interactive, web-based platform that enables real time communication among medical personnel and provides effective clinical education through VR and distance learning modules. It aims at the optimization of the diagnosis; especially in difficult cases or in cases that inexperienced doctors are involved, providing a computer based diagnostic system that will support doctors in decision-making. Furthermore, it enables doctors to monitor their patients during rehabilitation in high-risk cases in order to avoid permanent damage. It also aims at providing health professionals timely interaction with heterogeneous, distributen, medical and other health related databases in order to optimize their performance and facilitate their work. Furthermore, through this system, advanced navigation tools are provided to health professionals for timely retrieval of vital information including health info-structure tool such as user-friendly systems and interfaces as well as mobile systems for ubiquitous, timely and secure access to medical data at the point of care. This platform makes possible medical knowledge and evidence management. Finally, it provides sophisticated mechanisms for data mining as well as acquirement and of medical data.
