Telemedicine application for distant management of oro-maxilo-facial tumors [articol]

Abstract

TeleOralTum software is intended to collect on one server specific data from departments that work on the facial cancer diagnosis. Classical medical services imply the existence of a direct link between medical staff in different departments and the patient. Telemedicine is an old concept, which arise debates for more then 30 years. The application that we developed proves the need for a diagnose and management system that will allow a rapid gathering of data, a rapid elaboration of the diagnose, but also elaboration of reports and estimates that are so much needed in this field of medical research. The application works on a three layer distributed architecture, thus taking advantage of a high security for the patient data, easiness in splitting the work among software development teams, and also the easiness in which other medical departments can be added to the application. The user administration section is used to divide the accessibility domain for different types of client users. The architecture of TeleOralTum is an innovative one and has at its origin open-software tools
