First steps for a web-based platform oriented to the study of the infant neuro-development and disability

Abstract

The first steps for a telemedicine network which connect the units and places within the Medical Consultation for Infant Neurodevelopment and Disability (CPNDI) in Santiago de Cuba are discussed in the paper. For that target a web-based system for communications within the CPNDI structure and also to access rural areas with limited communication infrastructures is finally proposed. The system consists of a patient management system and a medical device system that are available to the doctor and the patient-side assistant during treatment via an Internet browser. The combination of local and remote web applications enables a reliable integration of the medical devices required at the patient’s location into the doctor’s remote station based on browser technology.
