title: Application parameters optimization to guarantee QoS in e-Health services.
abstract: The wide development of multimedia clinical applications and the use of inter and intra-hospital communication networks require a specific analysis to increase the efficiency of e-Health services. In this paper we study the optimum combinations of the application parameters needed to fulfil the quality of service (QoS) thresholds according to monitored network measurements in the new healthcare services. A remote diagnosis service has been evaluated establishing good-performance areas, depending on available resources.
