Abstract
This paper presents an overview of
the wireless telemedicine components of an
integrated system for e-medicine that we propose
and implement in the Republic of Macedonia. A
short introduction to telemedicine and its
evolution is presented. The new wireless
broadband technologies enabled creation of
telemedicine services previously only possible
via cable connections. The novel wireless
technologies enable provision of advanced
medical services to rural areas unreachable by
cable connections. WiMAX and Wi-Fi are the
technologies used to implement our telemedicine
functionalities. They are shortly described and a
number of proposed and provided services are
explained. Guidelines are given for further
development and implementation. The
experience gained draws conclusions that can be
used in areas or countries with similar natural or
economical conditions.
