为加纳提供异步远程医疗咨询
Asynchronous Remote Medical Consultation for Ghana
摘要：
计算机介导的通信系统可用于弥补服务不足地区的医生与世界各地的医疗专家之间的差距，因为当地缺乏医疗专门知识。为此，我们描述了一个原型远程咨询系统的设计，旨在提供持续的，自组织的全球分布的加纳医疗社区的增长的社会，制度和基础设施的背景。该设计基于一个迭代设计过程，其中包括在加纳各地进行的两轮扩展设计实地考察，并借鉴了三个关键设计原则（以社交网络为框架，在自组织网络内建立激励机制;与现有转介机制的可选和渐进整合;以及弱连接的分布式体系结构，其允许高度交互的响应系统，尽管连接失败）。我们讨论了在加纳南部正在进行的试验部署的初步经验。
英文摘要：
Computer-mediated communication systems can be used to bridge the gap between doctors in underserved regions with local shortages of medical expertise and medical specialists worldwide. To this end, we describe the design of a prototype remote consultation system intended to provide the social, institutional and infrastructural context for sustained, self-organizing growth of a globally-distributed Ghanaian medical community. The design is grounded in an iterative design process that included two rounds of extended design fieldwork throughout Ghana and draws on three key design principles (social networks as a framework on which to build incentives within a self-organizing network; optional and incremental integration with existing referral mechanisms; and a weakly-connected, distributed architecture that allows for a highly interactive, responsive system despite failures in connectivity). We discuss initial experiences from an ongoing trial deployment in southern Ghana.
