A study of the patients' requirement for the telemedicine

APAN medical WG made the great success of involving the close-to-real medical activities over the high speed circuits. The reason of their success was that their activities were driven by the medical doctors. At the project Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) [1] in USA, both the doctors and the patients are involved in the telemedicine infrastructure implementation. For such reasons, it is important to survey what kind of services in the telemedicine the patients are requesting. One of the easiest ways to survey this issue is to look at the AppStore. The top charts are built by the AppStore staff with checking the number of downloads, the evaluation of the customers and some other items. This paper is trying to get the idea of the requirement of the patients for the telemedicine with checking the top charts of the AppStore of “medical”.
