Bludau, Hans-Bernd; Koop, Andreas Displaying medical images and waveforms which are stored in the DICOM file format is no longer a task that can be performed on desktop pc's only. This article describes a feasibility study where we have developed a set of applications for viewing and even analysing DICOM image and waveform objects on mobile devices such as mobile phones or PDAs. In order to overcome the shortcomings, especially the computing power, of those devices we use a client/server solution that has been completely implemented using the Java Programming Language on the server and the c lient devices as well.

Bludau, Hans-Bernd; Koop, Andreas Improved potentiality using multimedia components (audio, video, threedimensional pictures and interactive tools) as well as the growing desire of patients to receive more information leads to a widespread introduction of patient information systems. In co-operation with the "Wissenschaftliches Institut der Praxisärzte", Heidelberg we developed a tool to explain medical facts with twoand three dimensional pictures. In contrast to common web based information systems the tool is used by the physician itself to explain the medical content. The investigation will be carried out on a group of 50 patients from 2 different wards. Participants need a Karnofsky-Index of 70 points minimum. In a randomly process patient will be allocated to either a group which receive standardised information supported by the picture material or just a standardised consent talk. Detailed information is given about the indication, the probable complications and the details of the forthcoming procedures (coronary catheters or endoscopic procedures). The procedure takes place one day after the conversation between the physician and the patient. We conduct a prospective, randomised investigation using a tool called "Dr. Topf's Patienteninformationssystem" which has been designed to supplement the clarification of facts. A sample of 5 pictures maximum is presented on a sub-notebook. The computerised animation is limited to 5 minutes. Participants of the control group are informed with support of the common informative pamphlet only. An analysis of the time required is being performed. Short after the conversation between physician and patient, the patient is asked to personally assess the quality of the consent talk. 3 days later we check the evidence of the visualised approach using a formalised questionnaire (standard of knowledge). 10 multiple-choice questions, been taken from students assessment questionnaire and adapted to patient knowledge level, apply to the contents of the happened conversation.

Bludau, Hans-Bernd; Koop, Andreas In that paper we will describe a system for remotely monitoring of patients at home from the doctors at the hospital. In general, the @Home [AtH02] system can measure, collect, analyze and record health care data at a patient's home and then subsequently send these data to the hospital using the global system for mobile communications (GSM) or PSTN telephone line. The paper is organized as follows: In section 1, a brief introduction of the @home project is exposed. In section 2, the overall architecture of the system is shown. Finally, the paper concludes in section 3, stating the clinical trials and the benefits of the project.

Bludau, Hans-Bernd; Koop, Andreas This paper describes the porting of a teleradiology system to a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). The basis for this formed the CHILI teleradiology and PACS system developed by the Steinbeis Transferzentrum Medizinische Informatik, Heidelberg (STZ) in cooperation with the German Cancer Research Center. The work was done as part of a EU IST project called Multimedia Terminal Mobile (MTM). The authors collected user requirements in a first step. Appropriate hardware has been selected based on these requirements. Dedicated software versions of CHILI have been realized on selected PDA hardware. The prototypes have been constantly evaluated in cooperation with medical end-users. Technologies from project partners like speech communication and speech recognition have been integrated.
