Abstract:
Developing advanced healthcare applications
to cater to the requirements of an ever-growing population
has become one of the key areas of research in engineering.
One major application in this area is medical video streaming,
which is often used for remote monitoring of patients. Medical
video streaming helps to overcome geographical barriers and
offers medical services at the convenience of the patient.
However, as medical videos carry critical and time-sensitive
information, retaining the quality and reducing latency
during transmission is paramount for accurate medical
diagnosis. This paper presents the concept of effective medical
video streaming, which incorporates novel methods in video
pre-processing, video compression, and transmission of
medical data over optical networks.
