This paper describes a system that has been developed to support Telemedicine activities in Brazil, a country that has serious problems in the delivery of health services. The system is a part of the broader Tele-health Project that has been developed to make health services more accessible to the low-income population in the northeast region. The HealthNet system is based upon a pilot area that uses fetal and pediatric cardiology. This article describes both the system's conceptual model, including the tele-diagnosis and second medical opinion services, as well as its architecture and development stages. The system model describes both collaborating tools used asynchronously, such as discussion forums, and synchronous tools, such as videoconference services. Web and free-of-charge tools are utilized for implementation, such as Java and MySQL database. Furthermore, an interface with Electronic Patient Record (EPR) systems using Extended Markup Language (XML) technology is also proposed. Finally, considerations concerning the development and implementation process are presented.
本文介绍了一个为支持巴西远程医疗活动而开发的系统。巴西在医疗服务提供方面存在严重问题。该系统是更广泛的远程健康项目的一部分，该项目旨在让东北地区的低收入人群更易获得医疗服务。HealthNet系统基于一个使用胎儿和儿科心脏病学的试点地区。本文描述了该系统的概念模型，包括远程诊断和二次医疗意见服务，以及其架构和开发阶段。系统模型描述了异步使用的协作工具，如讨论论坛，以及同步工具，如视频会议服务。实施过程中使用了网络和免费工具，如Java和MySQL数据库。此外，还提出了一个使用扩展标记语言（XML）技术与电子病历（EPR）系统的接口。最后，给出了关于开发和实施过程的思考。
