From Web Technologies and Opportunities in Medical and Engineering Applications Welch Allyn Technology Dinner -- February 22 1996. by Geoffrey Fox * See also color IMAGE

WWW already offers a vast amount of useful information in the healthcare area but its localization and maintenance becomes increasingly complex with the Web expansion.
The goal of this thrust is to develop a systematic procedure for scanning the Web, selecting information relevant for the pilot projects, and constructing a set of relational or OO/MultiMedia databases.
Natural approach is to use relational (text) or object(2D and 3D images) databases to store this information which will become the background "information sea" for future Web based TeleMedicine
Oracle database with Java/JavaScript Frontend is Natural Web based patient care database
  • Such records will be likely distributed, with components located at home, family physician office and specialist lab.
  • The associated services will offer tools for record design, editing, management/storage, history control, secure transfer, structural/hierarchical presentation, and statistical analysis.
