Abstract

Despite telemedicine's applications evolution to cover a wide area of users' needs, data centralization is not achieved yet. Also, access to patient data from any remote location, through a secure environment, is necessary to achieve remote data handling and doctor's collaboration. A remote access has been implemented through a Portal using only web modules, which do not require the users do meet any special requirements. Through an integrated environment, which is fully customized to each user's requirements, we provide doctors with the ability to organize their registered patients in an electronic manner, and civilians with the option of viewing their personal medical data from anywhere. Furthermore, an extra interface facilitates doctors' collaboration through secure communication channels and hence allowing them to view a patient's medical records. Java technology is used to satisfy design considerations and security issues concerning medical secret policy.
