Abstract
The objective of this paper is to propose an interactive practical work platform for the real-time broadcasting of the audio/video flow of a surgical team in the operating room to students in a practical work room. To do this, we combine Voice Over IP (VoIP) with Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) to have an interactive television that makes the viewer active and able to ask questions. The platform is accessible through a unique web interface developed in PHP. To ensure the integrity and confidentiality of the data transferred between the hospital and the university, we used a VPN server. Thanks to the encoding technique used in the platform, the multimedia flow is fluid regardless of the available bandwidth. Thus, the problem of high-speed Internet access in rural areas of developing countries does not affect the quality of the multimedia flow.
