Abstract: Speech recognition system (SR) is a tool to create comprehensive, accurate and legible information in the patient's medical records. The present study is a part of a project to create a specialty text database for SR software in the field of reconstructive hand surgery. This project is considered a fundamental work for practical application of the system to enter the healthcare field in Iran. An interventional, quasi-experimental study and fundamental work to create surgical text database in the existing Persian software of "Nevisa". 1863 reconstructive hand surgical descriptions during a 3-month period (March 20, 2012 through June 20, 2012) in 15-Khordad Subspecialty Hospital were used to create database. The statistical population of the study consisted of all patients admitted with hand disorders within this time interval. About 108 dictated voices of physicians were collected after surgery. After the type and required analysis, the reconstructive hand surgery text database was created and tested in a real operating room. In this paper, a reconstructive hand surgery text database was created for Persian SR software. The database contains capital vocabulary and more than1200 words for use in the hand surgical unit in specialty hospitals and clinics. The record of findings and results of surgery in the patients’ medical records is very important. The lack of computerized data recording is one of the reasons for failure and illegibility of medical records in health centers. To solve these problems, software was used for data entry in the medical records and creating comprehensive electronic records. The designed software was tested in the operating room. The obtained accuracy demonstrated the potential for practical applicability of the developed software in Iran.

Abstract: Telemedicine the use of telecommunication and information technologies in order to provide clinical health care at a distance helps eliminate distance barriers and can improve access to medical services that would often not be consistently available in distant rural communities. It is also used to save lives in critical care and emergency situations. Although there were distant precursors to telemedicine, it is essentially a product of 20th century telecommunication and information technologies. These technologies permit communications between patient and medical staff with both convenience and fidelity, as well as the transmission of medical, imaging and health informatics data from one site to another. Early forms of telemedicine achieved with telephone and radio have been supplemented with video telephony, advanced diagnostic methods supported by distributed client/server applications, and additionally with telemedical devices to support in-home care. There is a growing trend in the health domain to incorporate Smartphone's and other wireless technologies to provide more efficient, cost effective, and higher quality healthcare. With newer more sophisticated mobile devices for example, Smart phones this is an escalating practice. To date the use of mobile phone technology in the healthcare domain (m-Health) has been limited to uses such as disseminating information. However, m-Health is beginning to include software and data applications based on mobile devices and technologies. This movement is largely due to the advent of newer technologies associated with Smart phones. Some Smart phones can now be considered to be intelligent sensors with sensing capabilities such as GPS1 location, proximity and accelerometers. This paper examines the use of such technology in providing seamless mobile communications for telemedicine.
