Telemedicine is not medicine, but it is used to compute, to communicate and to deliver high-quality medical care regardless of location. It reduces cost, time and resources. Furthermore, wireless technologies play significant roles in telemedicine, and they are therefore called wireless telemedicine or mobile-health. This paper provides a comprehensive survey on wireless telemedicine, including the relevant wireless technologies, applications and research issues. Keywords: telemedicine; wireless; m-health; e-health; RFID; radio frequency identification; WLAN; wireless local area network; WPAN; wireless personal area network; 3G/4G. number of networks and security related projects, such as secure routing in airborne networks, network service for airborne networks, denial of service mitigation, trust management for wireless sensor network, intrusion detection for MANET and acoustic sensor network for structural health monitoring. Her primary research interests include protocol design, analysis and implementation in wireless ad hoc/sensor networks and network security.
A growing number of research works have already been presented on this topic, as enumerated by Yang Xiao et al. in REF , where they provide an extended survey on wireless telemedicine including relevant wireless technologies, applications and research issues.
