| dc.description.abstract | The explosion of wireless technologies including wireless networks, large flat displays, sensors, personal digital assistants (PDA), smart phones, and embedded devices are playing a great role in communication and service delivery of our daily life. Nowadays it is possible to extend different applications such as providing voice calls, remote consultation, remote discussion, remote health service, access different applications, and so on wirelessly to anywhere in the world over short or long distances. In consideration of various advantages of wireless technologies, in this work we aim to explore the use of wireless technologies in health domain for remote health education. The main objective of this work is to design and implement a telehealth support system which helps to improve the quality of existing health system. The system allows the health professionals to have adequate access to patients, to medical information, to give health related services remotely, remote consultation, and remote education to patients/peoples anywhere and anytime. The telehealth support system is developed using java programming language with J2ME CLDC/MIDP platform which ships with J2ME wireless toolkit emulator and MySQL database for data storage management.
