Paper Abstract:
|
Poor and developing countries can consider a broad range of telemedicine solutions. Angola presents a considerable number of public health problems. This paper presents a fully designed and implemented telemedicine solution for the Province of Benguela based on a low cost open source software, the Joomla Content Management System (CMS). Several different functionalities were added and successfully configured in the selected system such as a multimedia center, forms and reports creation and management (medical staff, patients and examinations), historical and epidemiologic data management, a virtual market and others. Important technical background applications are also provided such as an automated backup and restore tool with user level management and a forensic and anti-attack integrated tool. The system prototype was fully implemented and tested at the University Lusiada of Angola but a real installation is planed to the Regional Maternity Hospital at the city of Lobito, Benguela during the second semester of 2012. |
