Abstract: One of the emerging issues in medical-health is how best the mobile communications technologies that are globally available are exploited. The challenge is to produce a system to transmit a patient's biomedical images directly to doctor's personal digital assistants (PDAs) for monitoring and diagnosis purposes within hospital premises. The proposed work focuses on the design of a wireless telemedicine embedded system which transmits the computed tomography (CT) DICOM medical images archived in picture archiving and communication system (PACS) server to doctor's PDAs via Bluetooth communication. The embedded system used in this project is an ARM based processor (AT91SAM9263), which is a 32 bit advanced embedded processor. The design and implementation of an embedded wireless communication platform using Bluetooth serial communication protocol is proposed and problems and limitations are investigated.
