Chapter 6 An Integrated System for E-Medicine (E-Health, Telemedicine and Medical Expert Systems) Ivan Chorbev Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Republic of Macedonia Boban Joksimoski European University, Republic of Macedonia INTROdUcTION E-medicine can be viewed as a symbiosis between medicine, informatics and telecommunication technologies. Basically, e-medicine incorporates the use of computer technologies, multimedia systems and global networking in the provision of medical services. It is an area of great scientific and research interest, followed by fast implementation of novel commercial functionalities. A common simple definition describes e-medicine as the use of multimedia technologies like text, pictures, speech and/or video for performing medical activities. The goal of our research is to define a prototype of an integrated system for e-medicine that enables ABsTRAcT This chapter presents an overview of an integrated system for eMedicine that the authors propose and implement in the Republic of Macedonia. The system contains advanced medical information systems, various telemedicine services supported by modern telecommunication technologies, and decision sup- port modules. The authors describe their telemedicine services that use wireless broadband technologies (WiMAX, 3G, Wi-Fi). A signifcant part of the chapter presents a web based medical expert system that performs self training using a heuristic rule induction algorithm. The data inserted by medical personnel while using the e-medicine system is subsequently used for additional learning. The system is trained using a hybrid heuristic algorithm for induction of classifcation rules that we developed. The SA Tabu Miner algorithm (Simulated Annealing and Tabu Search based Data Miner) is inspired by both research on heuristic optimization algorithms and rule induction data mining concepts and principles.
