Problem being addressed[edit | edit source]

Tele-sono technology is the core technology of "Smart Public Health Center" in which highly qualified healthcare services are offered to the rural population where medical infrastructure is insufficient.

In remote area where there is no medical expert to diagnose the scanned image for patient. It can be used effectively since the image can be transferred to expert through the internet. So, it provides an early detection of diseases and prevents severe status.

  • Same category of this technology: telemedicine technology/tele-ultrasound/remote diagnosis ultrasound/remote ultrasound diagnostic system

Detailed description of the solution[edit | edit source]

Tele-sono Scan technology is the 3D ultrasound scanning, providing and easy method to diagnosis patient remotely. Patient's whole body data can be scanned by ultrasound volume images, and diagnosed remotely. This technology provide the separated process the step of scanning and diagnosis. So, Ultrasound expert in medical center diagnose the scanned image which comes from remote area by inexpert person.


Tomographic Way of Diagnosis - Smart Protocol: The 'Smart protocol' can suggest preferred diagnostic part of patient with instruction including 3D body images and appropriate scanned images. Nurses or non-medical experts can easily scan with 3D smart protocol.

Supportive Technologies: Easy viewing/CT style interface/Fast transmission/Image quality adjustment
