Although many tele-medicine experiments have been conducted, the project reported here takes different approach. Equipment specifically developed for medical use has often been introduced in previous tele-medicine projects. This project aims to evaluate how common products and technologies of the Internet can be utilized in tele-medicine applications. Our experiments show that products such as Wireless LANs and video-telephony over Windows PCs can be utilized for tele-medicine in rural islands. Useful observations on the promotion of Internet based tele-medicine are also presented.
