Software designed to manage/operate telemedicine systems intended for patient image management. This software is intended to work with a variety of image devices (e.g., smart phones, tablet computers) which are used to transmit information through a healthcare Internet telephone network that follows a set of security and privacy rules (e.g., The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act [HIPAA]). The software performs a variety of algorithms to process the image data, frequently for particular conditions (e.g., burnt skin) and/or procedures as well as manage the operation of the system. Diagnostic image telemedicine software is available as part of the complete system or as a separate component. The software may be modified (i.e., through the release of modified versions) during the life of the system by releasing updated versions. Dedicated telemedicine image management software intended for particular applications such as dermatology, radiology, pathology, ophthalmology, and videoconferencing is also available.
