Abstract

This paper presents an algorithm and architechture to enhance the performance of a mobile telemedicine system using the existing multimedia messaging service (MMS). With the proposed algorithm, the capacity of the MMS can be increased so that the mobile telemedicine system is able to send and receive a large content of multimedia messages using mobile phone devices which is not possible with the conventional MMS. This paper also presents the complete architechture of the mobile telemedicine system which can form the basis for building a practical mobile telemedicine system. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional MMS with regard to the file size that can be transmitted without degrading the quality of the data which is important for medical diagnosis in a telemedicine environment.
