Development of a System for Transmitting Medical Data and Diagnostic Images via the Internet for Hospitals in Thailand

Abstract

This research project aims to advance healthcare data and diagnostic imaging delivery by employing a digital Picture Archiving and Communication System, also known as PACS, alongside a web application that is internet accessible. The study explores two main areas, which are User Interface design and system functionality. The User Interface design merges the aesthetic of traditional paper documentation with the advantages of electronic displays to enhance both readability and overall user experience. The system functionality has been assessed and confirmed to offer secure and efficient transmission of medical diagnostic data as well as radiographic images. By complying with the Personal Data Protection Act of 2019 or PDPA, the system ensures the safe handling of confidential personal information. Test results show that the system meets performance standards and has been well-received by users. The project serves as a timely solution for today's medical industry, focusing on the speed and security of diagnostic data and image transmission.
