Abstract
Telemedicine applications using cellular phones and the Internet have already been demonstrated by many parties in the recent years. A recognizable trend in telecommunication is the convergence of cellular phone and computer network technologies. A WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) phone is capable of not only voice and data transmission, but also wireless Internet connectivity. This paper discusses on the methods and feasibility of several WAP-based telemedicine applications. A system, consisting of a WAP device and a WAP server, has been developed in our laboratory. It has been tested with an emulation software before tests with an actual WAP phone. The future prospect of WAP devices in telemedicine is discussed.
