碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 資訊工程學研究所 === 98 === Due to the improvement in the medical information, human society is moving towards the aging population society. The global medical cost is growing continuously. How to use the newest techniques to assist the medical personnel to make a right decision is a major topic now computer information personnel must face. Over the past days, development of mobile devices were limited by the factors of performance of the processors, size of the device, power consumption and communication capability, so that the medical personnel refused to accept the mobile devices which in turn gave a bad overall impression of the practicability instead. Because of the rapid development of the computer information technology in the recent years, the performance of the processors and the power consumption have a substantial improvement such that majority of people can accept it. With the popularization of the wireless access point, to integrate many techniques and consideration of applying it to improve the current medical information system are all the topics which should be discussed and researched deeply. This thesis considers the business value of integrating a medical information system with current mainstream techniques. Using the new style computer with multi-touch and RFID support as well as the smartphone/PDA with the wireless interface of WLAN and Bluetooth to construct a medical system that can improve the healthcare quality and the performance of the heathcare professional. Among these techniques, the PDA with RFID was used for the communication between the healthcare professional and patient where the smartphone’s WLAN feature can be used to transfer the image and video. The new style computer with multi-touch support is the core of this system. It includes the data transport and the management of patient’s healthcare records shown on the display for giving more advanced intuition 3D medical instruction. It can help the patients to easily understand their health status without a requirement of professional medical knowledge and also help to improve the relationship between healthcare professional and the patients.
