Abstract

Healthcare has been primarily concentrated in the hospital domain. With the current technology trends, some e-healthcare services have evolved. However, healthcare has not been accessible for the common man. Generic healthcare services available today focus on technology marvel. This paper illustrates our implementation of the healthcare service that uses the conventional telephone. The usage of telephone for facilitating Voice and Video over IP (V2oIP) communication to the home generates a new lease of life to the senior residents of the society. This embedded healthcare system uses the telephone connected to the HomeServer that connects to the hospital network over the Internet. The telephone uses a special sequence character to invoke the healthcare application. The application connects to the hospital network using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to facilitate multimedia communication. The output can be configured for display on the TV connected to the HomeServer and/or any conventional display.
