Wireless telemedicine is a new and evolving area in telemedical and telecare systems. It involves the exploitation of mobile telecommunication and multimedia technologies and their integration for new mobile health care delivery systems. This talk will highlight actual uses of mobile communications and telematic services in the healthcare domain as well as discuss trends in future personal communication services which will provide new dimensions to existing medical services and areas of outreach that were not possible in the current generation of mobile telemedical systems. A GSM-based mobile telecardiology system will be presented to illustrate design and integration issues, as well as novel signal processing techniques.
