Abstract

Telementoring is a subarea of Medicine that aims to approach and allow assistance from geographically distant health professionals. Though, high costs and a lack mobility of medical equipment make it difficult to implement this type of system. With the advent of the Internet of Things area, it became possible to miniaturize and popularize devices that are able to process data and connect remotely. The objective of this paper is to introduce a Telementoring system connected to a low-cost robotic platform, allowing audio and video traffic through smartphones between physicians, for real-time monitoring of procedures, ensuring greater safety and assistance for medical teams and patients.

Keywords: Telementoring, internet of things, low cost devices, video conference
