Abstract: Abstract In recent years, societies all over the world have come to face similar health care challenges that stem from aging societies, rising medical costs, greater public awareness of health issues, medical treatment in emergencies and disasters, and the introduction of electronic medical records, telemedicine and remote care systems. Against this backdrop, as health care providers are searching for more and more ways to use these telemedicine systems, medical ICT solutions are advancing at a rapid pace to bring higher performance, quicker response and greater efficiency to the medical and welfare professions and reduce the burden on patients.
