Abstract
The increasing need for better healthcare is one of the ercest challenges faced
by both developed and developing countries. The aging population has led to
shortage of specialists in the medical eld, depriving remote and underprivileged
areas of better healthcare. The advances in information and communication tech-
nologies o er hope of technologies that have a great potential to reduce mortality
and morbidity while improving the healthcare service delivery. Telemedicine is a
magni cent tool that bridges the gap between the specialists and patients, bring-
ing specialty care to the location of the patient in life time. This thesis discusses
the application wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) to telemedicine, a
WMSN enabled telemedicine architecture integrated with a 4G wireless cellular
network is proposed. It is followed by potential solutions for some ongoing chal-
lenges like the high bandwidth demand, security and energy consumption. Finally
an energy-e cient routing algorithm is proposed.
