title: Architecture for remote training of home telemedicine patients.
abstract: In spite of efforts to develop easy-to-use devices, patients may require multiple training sessions to achieve mastery of advanced telehealth devices, especially those incorporating web-access. In geographically-distributed projects, such repeat training can be costly. A software architecture for simultaneous voice conferencing and remote device control over a single telephone line is presented. Evaluation of the pilot implementation is favorable.
