title: [Patient monitoring after discharge by teleconsultation].
abstract: The Televisite application is a post-stationary consulting method, whose main aim is to reduce the treatment time of inpatients. It provides a high quality home consultation after the patient has been discharged from the hospital. The technical handling and the validity of the new method of caring will be analysed--particularly the human-machine interface. In a prospective study case injured patients were attend using the Televisite. For communications with the consulting doctor they were supplied with a high resolution digital camera and a mobile PC with an integrated HCSCD cell phone. The doctor examined the data transmitted by the patient and remotely consulted the patient using the Televisite. Through a simple self-explaining user interface, a smooth information transfer was guaranteed.
