Recent developments in networking and computing technologies and the expansion of the electronic health record system have enabled the possibility of online collaboration between geographically distributed medical personnel. In this context, the paper presents a Web-based application, which implements a collaborative working environment for physicians by enabling the peer-to-peer exchange of electronic health records. The paper treats technological issues such as Video, Audio and Message Communication, Workspace Management, Distributed Medical Data Management and exchange, while it emphasizes on the Security issues arisen, due to the sensitive and private nature of the medical information. In the paper, we present initial results from the system in practice and measurements regarding transmission times and bandwidth requirements. A wavelet based image compression scheme is also introduced for reducing network delays. A number of physicians were asked to use the platform for testing purposes and for measuring user acceptance. The system was considered by them to be very useful, as they found that the platform simulated very well the personal contact between them and their colleagues during medical meetings.
