Abstract

Mobile technology has exploded in healthcare because of its ability to improve the efficiency and accuracy of information exchange. This paper develops an innovative telemedical education system that enables peer learners to share medical multimedia such as DICOM Learning Objects (DLOs). In this system, facilitators and other student peers can publish such DLOs as Sharable Content Object Reference Model podcasts, where other peers can subscribe to it through their feeds. Such DLO podcasts can automatically be downloaded on the interested peer's devices for review and annotation. The new telemedical education system represents a collaborative network of peers linked in a Friend-of-Friend fashion built on the JXME enabling mobile infrastructure.
