Telemedicine

Telemedicine is the application of Information Technology to medical care. It’s about providing medical support at a distance to people who have no access to a doctor Using the Internet, satellite phones, video links, and digital cameras, patients, nurses, doctors, and others can obtain specialist help quickly.

If passengers fall ill on an aircraft in flight, cabin crew can use a device called Vital signs to measure blood pressure and other important signs. The data can then be transmitted to a doctor to interpret and provide advice on treatment Medical images, such as X-rays or ultrasound scans, can be taken in one country and sent by broadband to a specialist in another for expert advice. Using a video link, nurses in a minor injuries clinic can call a specialist to examine difficult cases remotely. This is much cheaper than having a specialist available in the clinic.

Telecare is a way of looking after vulnerable people such as old people at a distance. Sensors in their homes can detect falls, lack of activity, or even if food is removed from the refrigerator Lack of movement triggers an alarm which alerts medical staff or relatives. Patients can wear monitors for recording the pulse and other signs. This can be sent via the telephone system to medical staff without the patient leaving home.

Telesurgery was used in 2001 to allow a surgeon in New York to operate on a patient in France. The operation was carried out using a high-speed computer link and robotic tools in the French operating theatre. At this stage, such procedures are expensive and a local surgeon has to be present in case the network link fails. In the future, however, telesurgery could be a life-saver for people living, working, or travelling remote from medical help.

Тheme: VoIP phone systems

Task1. Work in pairs and answer the questions.

Then read the text and check your answers.

1. What does VoIP stand for?

2. What is a packet?

3. What is a wireless hotspot?

How VoIp phone systems work

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone systems work by sending data via the Internet in tiny packets. This is called packet switching. It works like this:

1. Your voice signal, which is analogue, is converted into digital data. If you have a standard phone, you need an extra piece of hardware to do this called an ATA (Analogue telephone adaptor). If you have an IP phone, it produces a digital signal so you don’t need an adaptor. You can also use your PC and a microphone as a telephone.

2. The sending computer uses software to compress the digital data, much like MP3 files.

3. The data is divided into packets, each one 30 milliseconds long.

4. The packets are sent to a router which decides the best path through the Internet for each packet. They will travel by many different paths. They will arrive at different times and some may even be lost.

5. The receiving computer uses special software to store the packets and put them in the right order. Because the packets are so small, you won't hear the difference if some are lost.

6. The data is converted back to voice and played through your standard phone, IP phone, or PC headphones.

If you have a wireless VoIP handset, you can make and receive calls anywhere near a wireless hotspot. Some mobile phones are dual-mode. You can use a mobile phone network or wireless VoIP, depending where you are.

Task 2. Put the steps in the correct order to make a flowchart showing how this type of VoIP phone system works.

a The packets are sent to a router.

b The digital data is compressed by the sending computer.

с The data is converted back to voice.

d The receiving computer puts the packets back together again.

e The voice signal is converted to digital.

f The digital data is divided into very small packets.

g The router sends each packet through the Internet by the best available path.

INTRODUCTION TO THE WWW AND THE INTERNET

Millions of people around the world use the Internet to search for and retrieve information on all sorts of top­ics in a wide variety of areas including the arts, business, government, humanities, news, politics and recreation. People communicate through electronic mail (e-mail), discussion groups, chat channels and other means of in­formational exchange. They share information and make commercial and business transactions. All this activity is possible

because tens of thousands of networks are con­nected to the Internet and exchange information in the same basic ways.

The World Wide Web (WWW) is a part of the Internet. But it's not a collection of networks. Rather, it is information that is connected or linked together like a web. You access this information through one interface or tool called a Web browser. The number of resources and serv­ices that are part of the World Wide Web is growing ex­tremely fast. In 1996 there were more than 20 million users of the WWW, and more than half the information that is transferred across the Internet is accessed through the WWW. By using a computer terminal (hard­ware) connected to a network that is a part of the Internet, and by using a program (software) to browse or retrieve information that is a part of the World Wide Web, the people connected to the Internet and World Wide Web through the local providers have access to a variety of information. Each browser provides a graphi­cal interface. You move from place to place, from site to site on the Web by using a mouse to click on a portion of text, icon or region of a map. These items are called hyperlinks or Jinks. Each link you select represents a document, an image, a video clip or an audio file some­where on the Internet. The user doesn't need to know where it is, the browser follows the link.

All sorts of things are available on the WWW. One can use Internet for recreational purposes. Many TV and radio stations broadcast live on the WWW. Essentially, if something can be put into digital format and stored in a computer, then it's available on the WWW. You can even visit museums, gardens, cities throughout the world, learn foreign languages and meet new friends. And, of course, you can play computer games through WWW, competing with partners from other countries and continents.

Just a little bit of exploring the World Wide Web will show you what a lot of use and fun it is.

Vocabulary:

World Wide Web — “Всемирная Паутина”

recreation — развлечение

network — сеть

to share — делить

humanities — гуманитарные науки

business transactions — коммерческие операции

access — доступ

to browse — рассматривать, разглядывать

browser — браузер (программа поиска информации)

to provide — обеспечивать
