Design and Simulation of Intelligent Global Medical Networks

摘要

Many health industries have adopted ATM for their backbone and the health care delivery system continues to increase in both volume and complexity. This research project investigates the increasingly important subject of using current Medical Networks as a means of communicating medical information. The Intelligent Networks (IN) and Advanced Intelligent Networks (AIN) services can be accomplished through the use of Intelligent Medical Asynchronous Transfer Mode (IMATM) switch architecture. Medical rules used to convert medical data such as symptoms; analysis results and physician's observation in medical diagnosis and treatment into medical information. Different levels of network model were designed and created for testing the performances of the IMATM; the limitations of the traditional networks and merits of our newly developed IMATM networks are analyzed, discussed, and reported.
