Abstrakt: An evaluation of a wide area Telemedicine System (TS) designed for a country with singular geomorphology like Greece is presented. It targets to improve the outcome in emergency cases, by means of an early and specialized pre-hospital treatment. The TS makes use of modern technologies leading to the cooperation of 30 mobile medical units, 3 Telemedicine Coordination Centers and 7 Regional Teleconference Rooms. An adaptive protocol is used to reduce the data transmission time and the resources required for archiving. An automated network switching keeps the communication live in most cases while a telemedicine service co-ordinates all the co-operating endpoints, providing call and connection management, remote healthcare assistance, teleconference capabilities and real-time vital signs' transmission.
