There will be four deliverables in this project 1. Client platform Android base TeleHealth client platform in a tablet form factor (see the attached hardware specification); the same hardware platform will serve as the telehealth hub and the mobile patient folder. ASTRI will also develop a suite of client applications for the device, with healthcare/elderly-care workers as target users for the mobile patient folder (MPF), and senior citizens/early discharged patients as the target users of the telehealth hub (TH). Applications for these two user groups would include: i. aggregation of vital sign measurement data; ii. tools to capture patient’s image and record symptoms; iii. secured login and remote retrieval of patient data; The applications are prioritized in the list accordingly (application [i] as the highest priority), with the features required in the mobile patient folder getting the higher preferences. This focus on MPF application development is due to the prototype testing with a partner hospital being one other project deliverable. 2. Server platform TeleHealth server that the client platform connects to, and interfaces with the relevant infra-structure of HA, hospitals and care service providers. The initial focus of this platform would be mainly the collection of patients’ measurement data from the MPF, and archiving of such data into the hospital databases. 3. Testing of telehealth client prototype Conduct prototype testing of the mobile patient folder and server platforms at United Christian Hospital. This testing phase would be conducted primarily by community nurses in their routine home visits. 4. Additional studies Investigation on the possibility of integrating ASTRI’s TeleHealth platform with HA. - on the next phase of CMS, and - their upcoming mobile device strategy.

這項計劃的目的是利用資訊及通訊科技(ICT) 去提供優質的遠程醫療服務(telehealth services)給長者及已出院的病人,以減輕醫療機構的資源不足和其員工工作量大的問題。應科院的目標是研發一個價格合理的醫院及家用的遠程醫療平台,該平台會包括一個客戶終端裝置和設置在醫療機構的伺服器。要開發與遠程醫療服務有關的平台,病人私隱和病人身份資料的保密性會是一大挑戰,因此,保安會是開發該平台極為重要的要求。 這個項目需要應科院內部不同的研發團隊一同合作完成有關技術開發,而對外應科院則需要與香港醫療界合作去推廣這項目。在應科院一些已完成或進行中的項目(包括遠距照護(tele-care)、脈搏血氧儀、遠程醫療中心、及近距離生物特徵識別系統),應科院已經開發了若干技術,本項目作為應科院遠程醫療計劃的代表項目,應科院可以利用以往開發的背景技術,再進行研發並將之整合成為一個遠程醫療的一站式方案。除此之外,應科院會跟香港的醫療機構包括香港醫院管理局、夥伴醫院、老人服務中心等等……緊密合作,將這項技術應用到社會。
