Real-Time Adaptation to Time-Varying Constraints for Medical Video Communications

Abstract

The wider adoption of mobile Health (mHealth) video communication systems in standard clinical practice requires real-time control to provide for adequate levels of clinical video quality to support reliable diagnosis. The latter can only be achieved with real-time adaptation to time-varying wireless networks' state to guarantee clinically acceptable performance throughout the streaming session, while conforming to device capabilities for supporting real-time encoding.
